    摘要: A cooling plate assembly for transferring heat from electronic components mounted on a circuit board includes both fixed and articulated interfaces. A fixed-gap coldplate is positioned over and in thermal contact with (e.g., through an elastomerically compressive pad thermal interface material) electronic components mounted on the circuit board's top surface. An articulated coldplate is positioned over and in thermal contact with at least one electronic component mounted on the circuit board's top surface. In the preferred embodiments, the articulated coldplate is spring-loaded against one or more high power processor components having power dissipation greater than that of the electronic components under the fixed-gap cooling plate. Thermal dissipation channels in the coldplates are interconnected by flexible tubing, such as copper tubing with a free-expansion loop. In the preferred embodiments, the coldplates and the flexible tubing are connected to define a portion of a single flow loop used to circulate cooling fluid through the coldplates.

    摘要: A chassis for a computer, computer related or other electronic device includes a door that closes an access opening in the chassis when in the closed position and permits access to the interior of the chassis when opened for a user or service technician. A latch releasably secures the door in the closed position and is operable by a user or service technician for opening the door from the closed position and closing the door from the open position without the benefit of a screwdriver, wrench or other tool. In selected embodiments, the latch is biased to account for compression reaction forces of a seal or gasket surrounding the access opening while still providing for manual manipulation of the door and access to the interior of the chassis.

    摘要: A bracket/collar is disclosed to circumscribe an integrated circuit card into an electrical or an optical connector. The bracket/collar has several features, such as grooves, to hold the circuit card into the bracket; the grooves may be on any available edge not mating with or held by the connector, and may hold a corner or other feature of the circuit card. Another feature of the bracket/collar is a mechanism, such as a hook or notch, to connect with the connector. Yet another feature of the bracket/collar is that, by its shape, it provides sufficient loading of the circuit card into the connector so that when dropped or otherwise mechanically shocked, the circuit card is not displaced from its connector. The bracket/collar is especially useful to secure DIMM memory cards within their electrical connectors in handheld computers.

    摘要: A computer arrangement includes an electronics enclosure located within a computer housing, which is divided into a plurality of physically separated cooling zones. The enclosure has a plurality of inlet and outlet openings. Each cooling zone is in registration with respective inlet and outlet openings. A backplane is disposed within the electronics enclosure, and has front and rear surfaces. A first electrical component is attached to one of the surfaces and is arranged in one of the cooling zones. At least one circuit board is disposed within the electronics enclosure and is attached to the front surface of the backplane. The circuit board has a second electrical component attached to a surface thereof, which is arranged in another one of the cooling zones. A system operation card is disposed within the electronics enclosure, and is attached to the rear surface of the backplane. A gas moving device is located outside of the electronics enclosure, and is activatable to cause a cooling gas to flow through the cooling zones. The inlet and outlet openings are sized so that the cooling zones receive only an amount of cooling gas necessary to cool the respective electrical components located therein.

    摘要: A cover is operable to seat and unseat electronic components. The cover is detached from an enclosure exposing an access opening. An electronic component, such as an expansion card, is inserted by an operator into guide rails housed within the opening. A first catch mechanism of the cover pivotally engages the opening so as to form a lever arm. A second catch mechanism connects with a mating catch of the electronic component. The component traverses the guide rails according to the rotation of the cover. The mechanical advantage realized by the cover overcomes the forces associated with seating and detaching connector pins of the electronic component with sockets of an expansion bus. The cover detaches from both the component and the enclosure prior to being repositioned to overlap the opening.

    摘要: An array of electronic modules on the top of a circuit board is cooled by a heat sink secured to the bottom of the board. Vias transfer heat through the board to a compliant interface pad which permits heat to flow to the heat sink while maintaining electrical isolation between the vias. The heat sink is held on the board by push pin assemblies including springs that compress the interface pad between the circuit board and the heat sink. The body of each push pin assembly includes flexing legs supporting locking barbs, and flex of the legs is limited by a strut defining a closed end slot in the shank of the body.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for heat sinking for multiple high power circuit board modules, is provided. One implementation involves providing a compact nested fin integral heat sink assembly for each high power circuit board module, and positioning fin sections on the heat sink assembly such that a plurality of nested fin sections emanate from each board side heat spreader plate of the assembly, thereby providing efficient airflow gap, pressure drop, and heat sink base spreading performance. The fin section can be placed essentially directly over high power components on each board module to minimize spreading resistance in a heat sink base of the assembly. The fin sections on each board module side provide channel depth without extending from an opposite side heat sink base, thereby increasing fin surface area for each local region of fins from either heat sink base.
