Housing for electrical communication apparatus

The invention relates to a housing for electrical telecommunications, consisting of a lower housing shell and of an upper housing shell, said shells being subdivided by chamber walls into superimposed chambers, and a board being arranged between the two housing shells. In order to achieve screening of the housing, the chamber walls (5) of the lower housing shell are bounded towards the top by grooves (7) into which sealing cords are inserted, while the board (3) is provided with contact strips (8) whose routing corresponds to the contours of the chambers. The contact strips consist of metal strips, in the case of which, alternately, contact springs are bent obliquely upwards and pointed contact pins are bent vertically downwards.
