Abstract
An attachment structure for use with a standalone control unit. The control unit includes a threaded insert located in an enclosed cavity which allows screws to be used for grounding of an EMI/RFI board, along with creating a sealed, enclosed pocket. The attachment structure allows for grounding of the PCB to the sheet metal base plate without creating a leak path to the outside of the control unit. This ground approach encapsulates the screw to prevent the formation of a leak path.
