Abstract: The electrical module, in particular an optoelectronic transceiver, has a coupling region for connection of a plug connector. The coupling region projects out of a metallic structure, which surrounds a shielding housing, when the module is arranged on a printed circuit board in the shielding housing. The coupling region is composed of plastic. This prevents the coupling region from acting as an antenna and interference emissions, which are produced by radio-frequency signals in the module, from being emitted in an amplified manner.
