A plasma display apparatus, comprising:
- a plasma display panel;
- a chassis coupled to the plasma display panel;
- a substrate having a hole therethrough and having circuits to drive the plasma display panel, the substrate spaced apart from the chassis;
- a grounding boss extending from the chassis, the grounding boss having a diameter smaller than the hole and passing through the hole without contacting the substrate;
- a grounding bracket fixed on the grounding boss, spaced a predetermined distance from the substrate, and electrically connected to the chassis through the grounding boss;
- and
- a spacer inserted into the hole, disposed between the grounding boss and the grounding bracket and determining a height of the grounding bracket from the chassis.
A spacer, comprising:
- a body and a plurality of grooved arms, wherein:
- the grooved arms are spaced apart from each other so as to receive a grounding boss between the grooved arms,
- a cavity for receiving a fastener is defined within the spacer, the cavity extending in a length direction of the spacer and having a width less than a space between the grooved arms, so as to prevent the grounding boss from being received in the cavity, and
- the grooved arms have grooves on outer surfaces thereof.
