Abstract
A steering wheel for a vehicle is described. This steering wheel comprises a steering wheel body comprising a grounding feature adapted for being connected to the vehicle ground and at least one electronic assembly being secured to the steering wheel body. The electronic assembly comprises an electronic component, a signal terminal and an assembly-side grounding area being electrically connected to a body-side grounding area of the grounding feature of the steering wheel body. In order to ease the assembly process, at least one electrically conductive and resilient contact element extends between the assembly-side grounding area and the first body-side grounding area. This electrically conductive and resilient contact element is under mechanical tension such that it transfers a force between the steering wheel body and the electric electronic assembly.
