Abstract

A shielded transfer system is disposed on a back panel printed wiring board for receiving cable plugs to be inserted next to one another. A shielding device for the cable plugs includes a rectangular sheet-metal frame having long side walls in the form of two mutually parallel longitudinal plates with ends and upper and lower edges. Individual crosswise plates join the longitudinal plates together at the ends and at certain intervals being predetermined by the cable plugs. The longitudinal plates and the crosswise plates have driving prongs securing the longitudinal plates and the crosswise plates to the printed wiring board. The crosswise plates have upper edges and a height placing the upper edges close to the upper edges of the longitudinal plates. The crosswise plates are hooked to the longitudinal plates at opposing locations as close as possible to the upper edges of the longitudinal plates, and the crosswise plates have lateral protrusions each being inserted into a respective hole formed in one of the longitudinal plates as close as possible to the lower edges of the longitudinal plates, to form an intrinsically stable centering strip for the cable plugs in a state of the s…
