  • Patent number: 6437993
    Abstract: A shielded housing for accommodating electronic circuits or components which are sensitive to electromagnetic interference fields or radiate interference fields, is fitted with an electrical connection in the form of a connecting cable, connecting plug or the like. This housing includes a shielding in the form of a closed metallic coating (of a conductive material) and, moreover, includes filter devices which are active against interference fields in particular in the area where the connection enters or penetrates the housing. In accordance with this invention, at least in the area of entry or lead-in, filter devices with capacitors are provided which are embodied as integral components of the connecting elements and of the shielding and, possibly, of the housing walls, also.
