Abstract

The ground connection between the circuit card and the housing and the housing connection side is implemented by at least one plug-in connection of variable insertion depth. This design is particularly advantageous for producing corresponding devices in an automated manner because, owing to the assembly of the devices, the contact-connection of the circuit card to ground also takes place automatically, specifically as desired in the advantageous form of meshed grounding with simultaneous compensation of the housing tolerances which is made possible by the plug-in connection of variable insertion depth.
