    摘要: An integrated standoff and wall mount apparatus is disclosed. A standoff is formed in the inner surface of a chassis backplane of an electrical device and comprises a conical shape extending generally upward from the inner surface of the chassis backplane. The integrated standoff is used to secure a PCB to the chassis. A keyhole feature may be formed in the surface of both said standoff and said chassis backplane for wall mounting the device. The keyhole feature includes an opening and a groove. A tongue-shaped coverplate is provided that extends from the standoff and provides safety features by covering the keyhole feature. The integrated standoff may be used to wall mount the device using a wall mount fastener secured in the keyhole.

    摘要: A connection system has a device, and a cable assembly having a cable and a cable connector disposed at an end of the cable. The cable connector is configured to connect to the device. The connection system further includes a retaining clip configured to secure the cable connector to the device when the cable connector connects to the device. The retaining clip includes a main body defining a cavity and a central axis which extends through the cavity. The main body is configured to receive and hold the cable connector. The retaining clip further includes a set of latching arms attached to the main body. Each latching arm extends in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis and is configured to latch the main body to the device when the main body receives and holds the cable connector and when the cable connector connects to the device.

    摘要: A circuit board holder includes a base portion, and a mounting portion coupled to the base portion. The mounting portion is configured to actuate with a first circuit board when the circuit board holder attaches to the first circuit board. The circuit board holder further includes a capturing portion coupled to the base portion. The capturing portion is configured to capture an edge of a second circuit board when the circuit board holder attaches to the first circuit board and when the second circuit board electrically connects with the first circuit board. Such a holder alleviates the need to consume a large amount of circuit board space on the second circuit board. Furthermore, the use of such a circuit board holder enables the first and second circuit boards to maintain reliable electrical connectivity even when exposed to heavy shock or vibration.

    摘要: A circuit board includes a first circuit board section which is configured to support a set of light emitting diodes, a second circuit board section which is configured to support high-speed electronic circuitry, and a boundary section which defines an EMI boundary between the first circuit board section and the second circuit board section. The boundary section includes a set of outer surface elongated ground strips configured to form an EMI seal onto which a set of EMI shields is capable of mounting. In some arrangements, the set of outer surface elongated ground strips take the form of metallic bands (e.g., layers of copper). Such bands can be integrated into the circuit board itself (e.g., during PCB fabrication), or added onto one or more of the circuit board surfaces (e.g., after PCB fabrication).

    摘要: In accordance with an example embodiment, there is disclosed herein an apparatus comprising a top case having a top surface and a side surface and a bottom case having a bottom surface and a side surface. The top case comprises a flange protruding from the side surface, the flange having at least one extended surface. The bottom case has an aperture having portions extending from the bottom surface to the side surface. The portion of the aperture extending along the bottom surface is configured to have sufficient width to allow the entire flange to pass through. The side surface of the bottom case has a vertical post such that the base section of the flange passes through the portion of the aperture on the side surface while vertical post retains the at least one extended surface.
