A pneumatic switch includes a housing which presents external contacts spaced apart to engage a component site on a device such as a circuit board. A pair of components are supported on the switch housing. A flexure mounted armature or vane is biased in one direction to electrically connect one of the pair of mounted components serially between the housing external contacts, while an air flow to the switch displaces the vane to electrically connect the other of the pair of components in series between the external contacts. The electrical leads between each of the pair of components and the external contacts are of equal length. The switch external contacts may also engage the terminals of a component at a circuit site to insert the mounted components alternatively in parallel with the existing component.

A modular heat sink decoupling capacitor array includes a plurality of modules, each defining parallel distributed decoupling plates, and each module forming a heat sink fi. Each module includes multiple spaced apart contacts for providing low inductance connections with an associated device. A power distribution interposer module is attached to a heat sink surface of the modular decoupling capacitor. The interposer module is used for implementing power delivery without using valuable ball grid array (BGA) connections and printed circuit board (PCB) layers.

The present invention generally relates to providing a controlled impedance connection between two PCBs. A connector may connect a first PCB to a second PCB. The connector may comprise of a body made from a dielectric material and a plurality of conductive lines defined in the dielectric material. One or more of the conductive lines may transfer one or more signals between the PCBs. A return path may be provided for each signal line. Furthermore, the width, length, and the proximity of a signal line and its associated return line may be selected to match the impedance of the connector to the impedance of the PCB. The connector may also contain one or more ferrite layers to suppress electromagnetic radiation caused by common mode currents.

A device, system, and method for suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI). In one embodiment, an EMI suppression device includes a compound ferrite core having an inner ferrite core and an outer ferrite core. The inner core includes a through hole in which a conductor may be mounted, and the outer core includes a hole in which said inner core is mounted in a concentrically offset manner. The outer core is rotatably adjustable with respect to the inner core in a manner such that the ferrite circuit cross-section area may be varied. The magnetic reluctance of the compound core is controlled in accordance with EMI suppression requirements by adjusting the circuit cross-section area.

A fan and a fan blade are provided for allowing airflow through the fan blade in a fan failure condition. The fan blade includes a peripheral member defining an opening. A flexible cover member is attached to the peripheral member for covering the fan blade opening during normal operation of the fan. The flexible cover member is hingeably attached to the peripheral member for movement away from the peripheral member enabling airflow through the fan blade opening in a fan failure condition.

A novel conductive gasket including an internal contact-enhancing strip provides improved contact performance in electromagnetic interference prevention and other applications. A metal mesh or conductive plastic covers a substantially rigid internal strip that includes protrusions that either bend or penetrate the gasket cover in order to enhance contact with another conductive surface. The cover may include holes aligned with the protrusions so that the protrusions pass through the holes when the gasket is compressed, or the protrusions may penetrate a mesh or plastic cover. An internal foam piece may be provided behind the internal strip to restore the shape of the when compressive force is removed and a second internal foam piece may be provided between the strip and the cover for maintaining the shape of the gasket. The protrusions on the internal strip may range from needle-shaped protrusions for puncturing a coating to relatively smooth bumps for bending the surface of the cover when the gasket is compressed.

Methods and apparatus disclosed for providing a fastener that can hold suitably flat planar objects. No tools are required to actuate the fastener. The fastener holds the object with a predetermined range of force, determined by a built-in spring when actuated. The fastener is particularly suited for fastening Printed Wiring Boards (PWBs) in an electronics enclosure, and holds the PWBs in position, as well as providing electrical coupling of a voltage supply used on the PWB to the electronic enclosure.
摘要:
A grounding spring for electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression is interposed between a heat sink and a printed circuit board (PCB). The grounding spring comprises a conductive material having an opening formed at its base through which the heat sink makes thermal contact with an electronic module mounted on the PCB. The base makes electrical contact with a peripheral surface of the heat sink, and multiple-jointed spring fingers extend from the base to make electrical contact with conductive pads on the PCB. During compression, the movement of each spring finger's tip is substantially limited to the z-axis. Accordingly, the final installed location of the tip can be precisely controlled even when the grounding spring must accommodate a wide variety of installed heights of the heat sink relative to the PCB. Preferably, the spring fingers terminate with a concave tip that is less susceptible to sliding off the conductive pads.
