Abstract:
A method comprises mounting a grounding clip to a planar flexible printed circuit transmission line; clamping the grounding clip to an inner wall of a chassis of an electronic device; and operating a laser beam to weld the grounding clip to the chassis to route the flexible printed circuit transmission line along the inner wall. Welding the grounding clip to the chassis causes the grounding clip to remain in contact with the planar flexible printed circuit transmission line to ground the planar flexible printed circuit transmission line to the chassis.
