Generic Device Shield

The generic-device-shield icon represents a shield symbol often used to indicate protection or defense of a device or its functionality. It is commonly used in user interfaces to provide a sense of security or protection.

In software applications, this icon is often used in settings or configuration panels to provide users with a sense of protection or defense. For example, in a device configuration panel, this icon might be used to indicate a secure connection.

From a UX perspective, the shield icon communicates a sense of protection or defense, helping users understand that a device or its functionality is secure or protected. It helps users navigate and interact with device settings.

Generic Device Shield is one of 1,426 icons in Siemens Industrial Experience Icons, made by Siemens AG and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds GenericDeviceShieldIcon to components/icons/ix-generic-device-shield.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed GenericDeviceShieldIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Generic Device Shield icon, or any of 1,426 Siemens Industrial Experience Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Generic Device Shield", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. GenericDeviceShieldIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <GenericDeviceShieldIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Siemens Industrial Experience Icons, Siemens AG and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
