Totally lame question regarding breadboards

What's the use for the thin metal sheet that seems to come with all breadboards (at least the two I have) ??

I think I should know this :oops: , but I cant figure it out, and instructions are in chinese!

Luck

I have two and they didn't come with any metal sheet. Do you have a picture of it?

Its just a thin rectangular metal sheet the size of the breadboard. I think it may be a replacement part for when the contacts in the thing get too used?

Luck!

You balance it on your head to stop people stealing the ideas you come up with when using it!

that must be it!

Of course, I should connect it to circuit ground to make it work, right?

Thanks
