Claims
- 1. A shielding plate, comprising:a hollow body formed as a casing with a continuous outer wall surface and an end face; and a plurality of contact springs formed as projections on said end face of said hollow body and having free ends bent back through substantially 180° onto said outer wall surface of said hollow body; said free ends of said plurality of contact springs contacting said outer wall surface of said hollow body and forming an electrical contact of low resistance between said plurality of contact springs and said hollow body.
- 2. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said projections are formed integrally with said hollow body.
- 3. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said projections represent a comb-like, partial extension of the cut-open hollow body.
- 4. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said projections have a substantially rectangular shape.
- 5. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said contact springs touch said hollow body in a sprung manner, on a part of said hollow body facing away from said end face formed with said contact springs.
- 6. The shielding plate according to claim 1, which further comprises a web formed on one of said end faces of said hollow body and dividing an opening formed through said hollow body.
- 7. The shielding plate according to claim 6, wherein said web is disposed centrally in the opening in said hollow body.
- 8. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said hollow body is a cuboid casing.
- 9. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said hollow body is a cylindrical casing.
- 10. The shielding plate according to claim 1, which comprises an inner shielding plate disposed inside a shielding plate of said hollow body and making electrical contact with an inner surface of said hollow body.
- 11. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said end face of said hollow body is configured to hold an optical connector.
- 12. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said hollow body is formed with a further face opposite said end face and with means at said further face for attaching a housing of an optoelectronic transceiver.
- 13. In combination with an optoelectronic transceiver, a shielding plate according to claim 1.
- 14. The shielding plate according to claim 1, wherein said hollow body has an unbroken surface.
