Abstract

The invention concerns an electrical screening housing for accommodating components or assemblies which emit electromagnetic radiation or are sensitive thereto, and for providing electromagnetic screening for the components or assemblies. The housing includes at least two parts with electrically screening walls, a sealing element being provided in an adhesive manner on at least one housing part in the region of a joint with the other housing part. The sealing element and at least one portion of the housing part bearing the latter are made of substantially non-conductive material and, for electromagnetic screening purposes, are covered with a cohesive, electrically conductive layer which extends at least over the entire width of the joint and adheres to the joint element and the housing part.
