Embodiments of a routing system for electronic module assemblies are disclosed that may incorporate a module base having at least one routing end and a channel formed across a length of the at least one routing end, wherein the channel has a dimension that allows a wire to be routed from the module base to a connection point external to the module base and allows the wire to be bent within the channel in a direction of the connection point.

A thermal interface pad is constructed from a plurality of thermal interface plate assemblies. Alternate thermal interface plate assemblies are rotated about 180 degrees from each other within the pad. Each plate assembly includes one or more spring members configured such that the completed thermal interface pad includes a plurality of spring members on at least two sides of the pad. The thermal interface plate assemblies are configured to allow the thermal interface pad to vary greatly in thickness. The pad is sufficiently adjustable in thickness to accommodate gross tolerance differences between multiple heat generating and sinking devices. Rods inserted in openings in the plates may be used to align the plate assemblies and to apply compressive force to the plates, improving the thermal conductivity between adjacent plates and greatly decreasing the overall thermal resistance of the thermal interface pad.

A subassembly of an apparatus, in one example, includes a first body member and a bias member. A fastener extending through the subassembly applies a compression force to the subassembly. A precompression member is engageable with the subassembly and the bias member so as to impart a precompression force to the bias member. In one example, the fastener is a screw engageable with a threaded plate and biased by a leaf spring which is precompressed to facilitate initial engagement of the screw and the threaded plate.

A processor module includes a processor and a voltage regulator both mounted on a carrier. The voltage regulator is mounted with its contacts under compression to ensure good electrical contact with pads on the carrier. Heat sinks mounted respectively on the processor and the voltage regulator are rigidly coupled to each other to provide rigidity to the module and thus maintain the desired compression of the voltage regulator contacts.

A socket alignment system comprising a receiving member disposed adjacent to a socket that is operable to receive an electronic component. A slot is disposed on the receiving member and has a longitudinal axis therethrough. An alignment member extends from an electronic component. The alignment member comprises a lower portion and an upper portion. The lower portion is operable to interface with the slot and prevent movement of the electronic component along the longitudinal axis. The upper portion is operable to interface with the slot and allow translational movement of the electronic component along the longitudinal axis.

A first heat sink is built including two sets of fins with a gap between the two fin sets. The gap is configured to allow the placement of a second heat sink between the two fin sets of the first heat sink. The first heat sink also includes slotted mounting lugs to allow the second heat sink to be mounted to the first heat sink allowing for varying stack up tolerances of the heat generating devices cooled by the first and second heat sinks.

The invention provides EMI cable shield termination apparatus. The apparatus includes (a) a cable exit panel coupled to a first electronic system and (b) one or more clamps coupled to the exit panel. The exit panel serves as an interface for one or more cables coupled to the first electronic system; the clamps provide mechanical coupling, and EMI shielding, for the cables to that interface. The exit panel couples to electrical ground such as through connection to the chassis of the first electronic system. The clamps also couple to ground through connection with the exit panel. Preferably, one end of the cables attaches to the clamps, at the interface formed by the exit panel, and the other end of the cables attach to respective ferrules coupled to a second electronics system. Beneficially, the apparatus reduces EMI effects generated from the first electronic system and coupled into the second electronic system. In preferred aspects of the invention, the first and second electronic systems are computers; and each of the clamps forms at least one aperture (“clamp aperture”) to affix to a cable coupled to the first electronic system. The invention facilitates configurable cable shield terminations to meet mechanical requirements of a given installation; that is, a single cable construction permits multiple optional clamp attachment locations to accommodate different separations of the attached equipment.
