A motor vehicle instrument cluster comprising an analog indicator assembly
having a pointer rotatably coupled to an actuator for a movement by the
actuator, and a display assembly including a display screen for
displaying information to an occupant of the motor vehicle and a printed
circuit board electrically connected to the indicator assembly and the
display assembly. In addition, the printed circuit board is electrically
connected to an electrical ground and a metal support frame is mounted to
the printed circuit board and coupled thereby to the electrical ground.
The metal frame includes a support tray spaced apart from the printed
circuit board, defining a gap in between. Finally, the display assembly
is mounted in thermal communication to the support tray and the frame and
the printed circuit board cooperate to define a static discharge path
between the display assembly and the electrical ground.
