Abstract
The present invention relates to a screening device having a base plate and at least one shaped strip which can be joined to a side edge of the base plate. In this case, a shaped strip can be designed as a contact shaped strip or as a spring shaped strip with a plugged-on contact socket connector, and can advantageously be joined respectively to opposite side edges of a base plate. The advantage of the screening device in accordance with the present invention is, in particular, the low height of the shaped strips and, resulting therefrom, the electromagnetic screening, extending virtually ideally in one plane, of the metal housing, in particular in the case of a plurality of screening devices arranged next to one another. With subracks, the screening device in accordance with the present invention can be used, for example, as a rear cover or as a front filler panel for unassigned module locations.
