Patent ID: 7898821

Claim:
An apparatus for shielding a component against electrostatic discharge comprising a light emitting diode placed on a printed circuit board and a photoconductor layer for conducting light emitted by the light emitting diode, wherein the photoconductor layer includes an electroconductive material, and that the electroconductive material is connectable to a ground plane in order to conduct electrostatic discharges from the photoconductor layer to the ground plane, further wherein the photoconductor layer is provided with a first aperture that extends through said photoconductor layer, the light emitting diode at least partly placed in the first aperture, inside the photoconductor layer, and the photoconductor layer also provided with the electroconductive material at least around the edges of the first aperture, and further comprising a key having a projection extending through a second aperture provided on said photoconductor layer, said projection configured to press on said circuit board.
