Summary:An arrangement in a motor vehicle includes a support structure which is made of magnesium or of a magnesium alloy and includes at least one solid portion. Further, the arrangement includes an electronic component which is supported or held by the support structure, and a connection arrangement having a connection element which is at a prespecified electrical potential. At least one self-tapping screw is self-tapped into the solid portion of the support structure and thereby mechanically connects the support structure to the connection arrangement.
