The limiter has a recess (2) and an electrically conductive connection terminal (5) to a reference potential, where the limiter retains an electronic device (7) e.g. liquid crystal display. A circuit medium (4) e.g. copper strip, is provided for connection at the electronic device. The limiter dissipates the electrostatic charge generating from the electronic device quickly during or after the generation of the charge, independent of environmental influences. An independent claim is also included for a method for dissipation of electrostatic charge present in an electronic device. Vorrichtung zur Ableitung von, auf einem elektronischen Gerät vorhandener, elektrostatischer Ladung, wobei die Vorrichtung eine elektrisch leitfähige Verbindung zu einem Referenzpotential aufweist, wobei die Vorrichtung ein Leitungsmittel zum Anschluss an das elektronische Gerät aufweist, wobei die Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme des elektronischen Gerätes vorgesehen ist.
