Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, first and second wiring substrates disposed to face each other, a fixing member that is made of an electrically conductive member and fixes the first and second wiring substrates to each other, and an external connection terminal provided in the housing. The fixing member has first and second fixing portions, and is interposed between the first and second wiring substrates. The fixing member is electrically conductive to a first electrically conductive portion provided in the first wiring substrate by fixing the first fixing portion to the first wiring substrate. The fixing member is electrically conductive to a second electrically conductive portion provided in the second wiring substrate by fixing the second fixing portion to the second wiring substrate. The external connection terminal is electrically conductive to the fixing member by electrically connecting the fixing member to the external connection terminal.

Abstract: A fixing structure of a circuit board includes a circuit board, a board fixing member, and a fixing screw for fixing the circuit board to the board fixing member. The circuit board is formed with a cut-out part in a “U”-shape recessed from its outer peripheral face, the board fixing member is formed with a protruding part. The protruding part is formed with a flat board contact face with which the circuit board is contacted, a screw hole with which the fixing screw is engaged, and a positioning protruded part engaged with the cut-out part for positioning the circuit board. The screw hole is recessed from the board contact face, the positioning protruded part protrudes from the board contact face, and the positioning protruded part is disposed on an opening side of the cut-out part with respect to the screw hole.

Abstract: An information handling system bay accepts plural communication carriers having storage communication support, such as in compliance with OCP3.0. The communication carrier has a support structure to support processing components, such as a network interface controller coupled to a printed circuit board, and coupled within the bay by a latch having a member extending from one end to engage the bay housing and latching an opposite chamfered end with a pin coupled to a spring loaded button. A press on the button away from the latch releases the chamfered end from the pin so support structure member is free from the housing bay to remove the communication carrier.

Abstract: A circuit-board holder includes a first restraint, a second restraint, and a third restraint. The first restraint restricts a circuit board from moving in a direction orthogonal to an insertion direction of the circuit board. The circuit board is inserted to the circuit-board holder in a direction parallel to a surface of the circuit board. The second restraint restricts the circuit board from moving in a normal-line direction to the surface of the circuit board. The third restraint restricts the circuit board from moving in the insertion direction of the circuit board when the circuit board has been inserted to a prescribed position. One end of the third restraint in the insertion direction of the circuit board is fixed. Another end of the third restraint in the insertion direction of the circuit board is elastically deformable and displaceable in a normal-line direction to the surface of the circuit board.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a modular charging device and a cooling structure thereof. The modular charging device comprises a housing, at least one battery package socket located on the housing, and a PCB located in the housing, the at least one battery package socket being located at one or two sides of the PCB, at least one battery package being electrically connectable into the at least one battery package socket in a plug-in manner, and the battery package socket comprising a battery package insertion slot extending inwards from the housing to the PCB. A cooling structure for a modular charging device comprises an air inlet disposed at one end of a housing, an air outlet at another end, and a pathway between a first PCB and a second PCB, the fan causing an airflow to flow through the pathway. Methods of controlling and using the modular charging device comprise: battery packages being controllable for charging either separately or in combination, and each battery package being removable from the housing for charging.

Abstract: In some examples, a tool-less electronic component retention apparatus includes a bracket to affix to a circuit board, and a spring-loaded arm attached to the bracket. The spring-loaded arm has an engagement tab that is angled downwardly to engage an upper surface of an electronic component to mount the electronic component to the circuit board. The spring-loaded arm is pivotable between an engaged position and a release position by a user without use of a tool.

Abstract: An electronic equipment includes a rack and a chassis. The rack includes two sidewalls. The sidewalls are separated from each other by a first distance. The sidewalls define a first chamber therebetween. The chassis is configured to be accommodated in the first chamber. The chassis includes a main body and at least a pair of first elastic latches. The first elastic latches are disposed on two opposite sides of the main body. Each of the first elastic sheets has an abutting surface. The abutting surfaces face away from each other and are respectively configured to at least partially abut against the corresponding sidewall. When the abutting surfaces are located outside the first chamber, the abutting surfaces are separated from each other by a second distance longer than the first distance.
