Abstract
Abstract A method for contacting shielding plates having press-in pins and attached to an upper side of a printed circuit board to further shielding plates also having press-in pins and located on a lower side of the printed circuit board. The upper shielding plate with press-in pins having arcuate press-in zones is placed free of force into respective through-contacted printed circuit board holes and is contacted against walls of the holes by pressing into the same holes press-in pins having V-shaped press-in zones of the lower shielding plate in order to achieve a gas-tight, good contacting, i.e. a shielding diverter.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
A method for contacting upper shielding plates having press-in pins and located on an upper side of a printed circuit board to lower shielding plates having press-in pins and located on a lower side of the printed circuit board, comprising the steps of: providing arcuate press-in zones for the press-in pins of the upper shielding plates and providing V-shaped press-in zones for the press-in pins of the lower shielding plates, apexes of the arcurate and V-shaped press-in zones of the press-in pins of the upper and lower shielding plates always lying at the same side; placing the press-in pins of the upper shielding plate free of force into holes to be through-connected in the printed circuit board; and pressing the V-shaped press-in pins of the lower shielding plate into the already occupied holes of the printed circuit board to produce a firm contacting between the respective press-in pins and the printed circuit board.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
153 words
A method for contacting upper shielding plates having press-in pins and located on an upper side of a printed circuit board to lower shielding plates having press-in pins and located on a lower side of the printed circuit board, comprising the steps of: providing arcuate press-in zones for the press-in pins of the upper shielding plates and providing V-shaped press-in zones for the press-in pins of the lower shielding plates, apexes of the arcurate and V-shaped press-in zones of the press-in pins of the upper and lower shielding plates always lying at the same side; placing the press-in pins of the upper shielding plate free of force into holes to be through-connected in the printed circuit board; and pressing the V-shaped press-in pins of the lower shielding plate into the already occupied holes of the printed circuit board to produce a firm contacting between the respective press-in pins and the printed circuit board.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
208 words
A method for contacting at least on upper shielding plate on an upper side of a printed circuit board to at least one lower shielding plate on a lower side of the printed circuit board, the printed circuit board having a plurality of holes extending from the upper side to the lower side, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of upper press-in pins on the upper shielding plate, each of the upper press-in pins having an arcuate press-in zone; providing a plurality of lower press-in pins on the lower shielding plate, each of the lower press-in pins having a V-shaped press-in zone; placing respectively the upper press-in pins of the upper shielding plate free of force into the plurality of holes of the printed circuit board; pressing respectively the lower press-in pins of the lower shielding plate into the plurality of holes of the printed circuit board already occupied by the upper press-in pins of the upper shielding plate to produce a firm contacting between the upper and lower press-in pins and the printed circuit board, the lower press-in pins being oriented relative to the upper press-in pins such that respective apexes of the arcuate press-in zones and of the V-shaped press-in zones are adjacent one another.
