Abstract
An assembly of an electronic device within a sealed chamber of a flexible container. The electronic device, which may be a printed circuit board, has signal terminals connected to elongated insulated signal conductors. These conductors pass through a laminate construction wall of the container for connection to outside conductors. The signal conductors are electrically isolated from an EMI protection layer which forms part of the laminate construction wall. A grounding device connects a ground conductor of the electronic device to the EMI protection layer. The grounding device comprises a ground element having teeth on one side. A screwthread arrangement extends through the container wall and clamps the ground element onto the wall with the teeth cutting into the EMI protection layer to be in electrical contact therewith. The ground conductor is electrically connected to the screwthread arrangement.
