Abstract

An electronic device includes a housing, a circuit board, a plurality of holders having mechanical connectors to the housing and to the circuit board and mechanically fixing the circuit board within the housing, and at least one capacitor having a first electrode, a second electrode and a dielectric arranged between the first and second electrodes. The first electrode is electrically connected to a contact on the circuit board, and the second electrode is electrically connected to the housing. The at least one capacitor is part of one of the plurality of holders; and the dielectric of the capacitor is part of a thermal insulation between the connectors to the circuit board and to the housing.
