1. An electronic device to be incorporated into a tyre, the electronic device comprising:
- an electronic component;
a conductor;
a multi-section support for the electronic component, a first section of the multi-section support being in an open-circuit arrangement with a second section of the multi-section support, wherein the first section of the multi-section support and the conductor are joined together by a first part for attachment of the conductor to the multi-section support and a second part for attachment of the first part to the conductor, and wherein the first part and the second part are distinct from the multi-section support;
a rigidifying casing overmoulded over at least the first part and the second part; and
an intermediate transition layer at least partially overmoulded over the rigidifying casing.

Abstract
An electronic device, which is intended to be incorporated into a tire, includes an electronic comprises, a conductor, and a support for the electronic component. The support and the conductor are joined together by a first part for attachment of the support and a second part for attachment of the conductor. A rigidifying casing of the device is overmoulded over at least the first part for attachment of the support and the second part for attachment of the conductor. At least one intermediate transition layer is at least partially overmoulded over the rigidifying casing.
