    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention provide an anchor, circuit board assembly, and method for operably engaging an electronic component with a circuit board having a first side and a second side. Anchor embodiments include an anchor portion configured for receiving at least a portion of the electronic component and a pair of anchor legs flexibly extending from the ends of the anchor portion and configured for insertion into apertures defined in the circuit board. The anchor further includes a compression element slidably disposed about the anchor legs and movable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The compression element is configured for urging the anchor legs towards one another when moved from the unlocked position to the locked position such that the anchor is secured in the apertures when the compression element is in the locked position.

    摘要: An apparatus and a method for locking a cam lever which positions a second card as inserted into a connector on a first card, and activating the second card with a coupling member. In one embodiment, the second card is inserted between a pair of guides secured to the first card into a connector on the first card. A hinged cam lever on either a guide or the second card positions the second card. A coupling member on the cam lever can be moved to lock the cam lever in place and engage a switch on the second card to activate the second card. When removal of the second card is desired, the coupling member on the cam lever can be moved to unlock the cam lever and disengage the switch on the second card to deactivate the second card.

    摘要: Apparatus for securing or retaining a heatsink. The heatsink retention apparatus includes a heatsink module that cooperates with first and second spring loaded latches secure to a circuit board on opposing sides of a heat-generating component. The heatsink module includes a handle pivotally secured to opposing sides of the heatsink body, and bails pivotally secured to the handle. In addition, the bails extend downward to dispose a lower bail member adjacent the spring loaded latches. As the handle pivots between a first position to raise the bails and a second position to lower the bails, the bails automatically move from a locked position to an unlocked position. Each of the spring loaded latches include a hook and at least one pre-loaded spring to transfer a minimum downforce to the lower bail members when the bails are raised. Accordingly, embodiments may be operated from the top of the heatsink without the use of tools, while providing a desired downforce over a range of heatsink heights.
