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.
