    Abstract: A vent/drain cover for an electronics enclosure includes a cover body defining an axis and a surface with a first wall protruding from the surface in a direction and a second wall protruding from the surface in the same direction but displaced radially from the first wall. The first wall has a first channel formed therein that is defined by a portion of the first wall that does not extend as far from the surface as the balance of the first wall. The second wall has a second channel defined by a portion of the second wall that does not extend as far from the surface as the balance of the second wall, the first channel being circumferentially offset from the second channel. Electronics enclosures and methods of venting electronics assemblies are also described.

    Abstract: A circuit component arrangement includes a base and a plurality of circuit components mounted to the base. A bonding agent adheres the circuit components in intimate contact to the base. The bonding agent is disposed in a respective open channel defined in an outward facing surface of the base in contact with each of the circuit components. A method of assembling a circuit component arrangement includes temporarily fastening a plurality of circuit components to a base. A bonding agent is injected into a respective open channel defined in the base to adhere each of the plurality of circuit components to the base. The plurality of circuit components are unfastened from the base. Injecting a bonding agent can include ceasing injection of bonding agent upon appearance of bonding agent in a window opening in fluid communication with the open channel.

    Abstract: An electronic assembly includes one or more electronic components and an enclosure in which the one or more electronic components are located. The enclosure includes a vertically top surface, a vertically bottom surface, and a plurality of side portions extending between the top surface and the bottom surface. A cooling arrangement for thermal management of the one or more electronic components includes a cooling airflow inlet to admit a cooling airflow into the enclosure, a cooling airflow outlet to exhaust the cooling airflow from the enclosure, and one or more cooling pathways between the cooling airflow inlet and the cooling airflow outlet. The cooling airflow outlet is downward facing toward the vertically bottom surface such that the cooling airflow flows out of the cooling airflow outlet a downward direction toward the vertically bottom surface.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to dividing single full-width card slot of an electronics enclosure into two reduced-width card slots. Such conversion is performed by interposing a card-slot dividing member between full-width slide members on opposite interior surfaces of a card cage of the electronics enclosure. The card-slot dividing member has first and second reduced-width slide members aligned directly opposite the full-width slide members on opposite interior surfaces of the card cage. Each of the first and second reduced-width slide members is configured to slidably guide a reduced-width Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) module into the reduced-width card slot cooperatively with a corresponding one of the full-width slide members. In some embodiments, the card-slot dividing member is further configured to operate as a heat exchanger, helping to cool any CCA modules within an interior cavity of the electronics enclosure.
