| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention provides methods and devices for protecting electronic components of handheld electronic devices from electrostatic discharge. An electronic device in accordance with the present invention includes an enclosure having first and second housing portions (201,207), a mating edge connection (504) between the first and second housing portions, an electronic component, and an electrically insulating frame (506). The electrically insulating frame is positioned within the enclosure and surrounds at least a portion of the electronic component thus providing an electrostatic discharge barrier between the mating edge connection and the electronic component. |
