A cold plate assembly includes a cold plate with at least two plumbing ports. The cold plate assembly further includes a spring plate assembly, which applies an actuation load to the cold plate. The actuation load is configured to mechanically actuate the cold plate to a module.

Methods of configuring a cooling subassembly for an electronics system are provided, that is, for establishing a coolant-carrying tube layout for interconnecting multiple liquid-cooled cold plates in series-fluid communication for cooling multiple heat-generating electronic components of an electronics system. The electronic components are to be plugged in fixed relation into a preconfigured motherboard, and the tube layout includes at least one rigid coolant-carrying tube. Simplified analysis is initially performed to evaluate stress on the rigid tube(s) and determine if loss of actuation load on the electronic components exceeds an acceptable threshold, and if so, at least one tube having high stress is identified and reconfigured. Thereafter, analysis is performed to determine whether, with available actuation load on the cooling subassembly, electrical connection loading between the electronic components and the supporting motherboard is above an acceptable minimum level. If so, the coolant-carrying tube layout is chosen as a final design.

A technique for installing a heatsink in an electronic assembly includes simultaneously applying force to multiple fastener assemblies that each retain a respective fastener in a body of the heatsink. The heatsink is then attached to the electronic assembly by actuating the fasteners while the force is simultaneously applied to the multiple fastener assemblies.

Mechanisms for interconnecting and distributing signals and power between PCBs are provided. A first PCB having land grid arrays (LGAs) and a first wiring layer designed for interconnect components on the first PCB, and a second wiring layer for connecting the components to a second PCB, are provided. The second PCB has opposed parallel first and second surfaces, the first surface having a LGA. A wiring layer designed to interconnect components on the second PCB, and a layer for interconnecting the components on the second PCB with the components on the first PCB, are provided. A first interposer couples to a LGA of a first surface of the first PCB and connects a component to the first PCB. A second interposer is sandwiched between and couples to a LGA of a second surface of the first PCB and to the LGA of the first surface of the second PCB.

An apparatus is provided having an integrated circuit device disposed on a printed circuit board and a heat dissipation device on the integrated circuit device. An actuation screw in a spring plate is urged against a portion of the heat dissipation device by tightening the actuation screw. The actuation screw may be prevented from being tightened beyond a mechanical constraint corresponding to a pre-set calibration for the specific compressive force, which may be greater than or equal to a minimum compressive force corresponding to the greater of a minimum thermal interface pressure and a minimum contact interface pressure. Additionally, a method is provided in which the actuation screw is tightened, but prevented from being tightened beyond the mechanical constraint.

An apparatus for attaching a heatsink to an electronic module mounted on a circuit card assembly includes a load frame; a load arm having a first end being pivotally coupled to one end of the load frame and a second end configured to receive at least a portion of a load screw therethrough; a spring plate disposed at an opposite end of the one end of the load frame, and configured to threadedly receive the load screw, opposite ends of the spring plate being retained while an intermediate portion threadedly receiving the at least a portion of the load screw is allowed to bow upwards toward a bottom of the opposite end of the load arm; and a heatsink disposed on the module. An intermediate portion of the load arm aligned with a center region of the module biases the heatsink toward the module when the load screw is threadedly engaged with the spring plate.
