1. An apparatus comprising:
conductive sealant paste; and
a carrier structure on which the sealant paste rests,
wherein the apparatus is mounted between a first structural part and a second structural part of an electronic device,
wherein the conductive sealant paste is configured to rest on the carrier structure as sealant paste areas such that the sealant paste areas are at apertures comprised by the carrier structure that perforate the carrier structure, being supported on the carrier structure and thus configured to generate galvanic connections through said sealant paste areas at the apertures perforating the carrier structure from a first side of the carrier structure to a second side of the carrier structure, and
wherein, prior to the apparatus being subjected to compression between the structural parts of the electronic device, the sealant paste area is configured to extend inside an aperture comprised by the carrier structure within an area defined by an aperture wall comprised by the carrier structure throughout an entire distance that the aperture extends in a permeation direction of the aperture.
