Assemblies of electronic devices and flexible containers thereof

Abstract

An assembly of an electronic device inside a flexible container in which the device is held within a sealed chamber of the container. The electronic device, which may be a printed circuit board, has signal terminals which are connected to elongate insulated signal conductors. These conductors pass through a laminate construction wall of the container for connection to outside electrical conductors. The signal conductors are electrically isolated from an EMI protection layer which forms part of the laminate construction wall. A grounding device includes a ground element electrically connected to a ground conductor of the electronic device, the ground element being secured to the inside surface of the container provided by a dielectric inner layer. The ground element is thus in capacitive coupling with the EMI protection layer. A further ground element may be disposed on the outside of the container and separated from the EMI protection layer by an outer dielectric layer to provide a further capacitive coupling.
