Abstract

The present invention relates to a shielding element for electric and/or electronic components of an electric and/or electronic circuit, including an annular side wall (11) for surrounding those elements (25) of a circuit that have to be shielded against electromagnetic radiation, said side wall (11) defining a bottom and a ceiling opening (15), and a cover (12, 12′) for closing the ceiling opening (15). To provide a shielding element that facilitates a sampling of an electric and/or electronic circuit arrangement said cover (12, 12′) is either detachable attached to said side wall (11) by joint means that comprises a predetermined breaking (26) line or defined together with said side wall (11) as parts of an integral cap (32) by a predetermined breaking line (26). In both cases said predetermined breaking line (26) has to be destroyed for detaching said cover (12, 12′) from said side wall (11).
