摘要:
A tool assembly for removing an article from, or inserting an article onto, a printed circuit board which includes a tool housing having a handle portion and an article receiving portion, a plate slidable within the housing, the plate having a handle portion at a first end adjacent to the handle portion of the housing and two receiving portions at a second end, and two lever arms within the housing, each lever arm having a first end pinned to the housing and a second end of each lever arm inserted into the receiving portion of the plate such that each of the lever arms pivots about the pinned first end upon movement of the plate. The tool further comprises a pair of flexible rods located in respective recessed channels on either side of the article receiving portion, with one end of the flexible rods affixed to a first end of each of the lever arms, each of the flexible rods having a free end for interacting with an article retention device. The tool assembly may also include a tool guide for aligning the tool with a desired portion of a printed circuit board.

A connector system includes a first connector assembly that is electrically connected to wiring on a first printed wiring board and a second connector assembly that is electrically connected to wiring on a second printed wiring board. Each connector assembly includes a number of connector modules that are joined together in a predetermined array such as a row. In one of the connector assemblies, the row also includes one or more actuation modules. The actuation module or modules are engaged by an actuator mechanism to force the connector assemblies into mating engagement or to draw them apart.

A connector, for example an LGA connector to be used in coupling a circuit board to a chip or a multi-chip module, includes an insulating carrier with a through-holes corresponding to the connections to be made above and below the carrier, and contacts in the through-holes. The contacts include wadded-wire wads that protrude above and below the carrier to make contact with the chip or circuit board, but each also includes a solid conductive member that extends over a major portion of the length of the through-hole and is in electro-mechanical connection with the wadded-wire wad or wads in the hole at numerous points along the length of the through-hole. The solid conductive member includes barbs or projections that penetrate the wadded wire. The solid conductive members thus provide a low-resistance parallel path and can also hold the wadded-wire wad or wads in place. A method of making and system are also disclosed.

A method, system, and apparatus for cooling one or more devices through use of a cooling plate. An example system includes multiple heat generating devices coupled to a cooling plate, each through an individual thermal interface unit. The thermal interface unit includes a compressible solid pad with at least one surface having a plurality of projections carrying a flowable material. The thermal interface units are pressed between the heat generating devices and the cooling plate so that the flowable material is completely enclosed.

An actuation assembly and method is provided for mating electronic unto a computer rack comprising a main housing engageably securable to a slide assembly. The slide assembly is capable of being secured to a side of the computer rack and having sliding features such that the slide assembly and the main housing when engaged can be telescoped out or returned to a closed position. The main housing having a vertical wedge for securing said assembly to said rack more securely and a drive wedge for moving the vertical wedge such that it can telescope into and out of said rack with said slide mechanism via a lead screw.

An apparatus for extracting and inserting a circuit card into a socket, the apparatus includes a tool device releasably mountable to opposing sides defining the circuit card. The tool device includes a pair of frame members having a friction fit feature for attachment to the opposing side edges defining the circuit card; and a sliding plane translatable between the pair of frame members. Upward translation of the sliding plane relative to the fixed pair of frame members acts to release latches on the connector to extract the circuit card from the connector upon upward translation of the pair of frame members, and downward translation of the sliding plane relative to the fixed pair of frame members acts to transfer a force to the circuit card, thereby inserting the circuit card with the connector. The apparatus further includes a tool guide having two members opposing each other, each member including a plurality of slots, each configured to guide a respective edge of the tool device therethrough for alignment with the connector.

A capping structure and capping method are presented for an electronics package having a substrate and one or more electronics devices disposed on the substrate. The capping structure includes a capping plate sized to cover the electronics device(s) disposed on the substrate, and two or more force transfer pins. The force transfer pins are disposed between the capping plate and the substrate so that when a force is applied to the capping plate or the substrate, the force is transferred therebetween via the force transfer pins. Various capping plate and pin configurations are presented.
