This is a titanium shield that fits into a discorotron and helps to eliminate destructive effluents. The shield conforms to the shape of the discorotron housing and has side portions that extend beyond the side portions of the discorotron housing. On this extended portion, a grid is attached over the open surface of the discorotron. The extended portions are called ears. These ears have notches to mate with apertures in the grid. The exposed ends of the ears are covered by a guard to prevent the ears from making contact with a photoreceptive surface. Below the ears are upstanding electrical contacts which when viewed from an end view form an H-like configuration with the ears.
