Logic-to-chassis printed circuit board (PCB) bolt and washer assembly
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a top surface, where the top surface includes a mounting aperture, a chassis, and a fastener having a width and length extending at least from the top surface of the PCB to the chassis through the mounting aperture. The apparatus also may include a logic ring that includes a via to a logic circuit of the PCB and a washer including a substantially flat surface including a high yield strength material. The washer may include a through-hole to accommodate the width of the fastener. The washer may additionally include a plurality of contact fingers extending out from the through-hole. The plurality of contact fingers is configured to contact the logic ring. The washer may be made to be in electrical communication with the chassis when compressed in response to a downward force from the fastener.
