Abstract
The shielding plate receives pluggable electrical components, in particular optoelectronic transceivers. The shielding plate has an at least partially casing-shaped main portion and contact springs formed on the main portion for the electrical contact of the shielding plate with a metallic structure. A first part of the main portion can be placed within the metallic structure and a second part of the main portion can be inserted through a cutout of the metallic structure. The contact springs are projections formed on the extreme ends of the main portion and bent back toward the main portion. The ends of the bent-back projections electrically contact the main portion in a rear region which, in the electrical bonding of the metallic structure by the contact springs, lies within the metallic structure.
