An EMI suppressive device. In one embodiment, the EMI suppressive device is electrically connected to an electric motor having a substantially non-conductive shroud and a conductive drive shaft. The EMI suppressive device includes a packaged circuit that suppresses electromagnetic interference and contains one or more signal terminals that connect to the electric motor and one or more ground terminals that connect to ground. The EMI suppressive device also includes a bracket that supports the packaged circuit and has one or more interfaces that interface with one or more of the one or more ground terminals of the packaged circuit, and a conductive element that contacts the shroud and electrically connects to the drive shaft to provide a path to ground.
