  • Publication number: 20230363103
    Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a chassis having electronic module mounting positions, each having an electronic module received therein. A module recess is adjacent a first end of the electronic module and a module roller is adjacent a second end. A sealing retainer is coupled between the chassis and each electronic module, and includes a cooling gas passageway aligned with a chassis cooling gas passageway and a module cooling gas passageway. The sealing retainer includes a rigid retainer body having a retainer recess adjacent a first end to receive the module roller when the electronic module is in an inserted position. A retainer roller is received in a module recess and a compressible retainer body is between the rigid retainer body and the chassis.

  • Publication number: 20230354559
    Abstract: An electronic assembly may include a chassis having electronic module mounting positions, each having a chassis cooling gas passageway and an electronic module received in each electronic module mounting position. A sealing retainer may be coupled between the chassis and each electronic module, and includes a cooling gas passageway aligned with the chassis cooling gas passageway and a module cooling gas passageway of a respective electronic module. The sealing retainer may include a retainer body, and a gas seal body coupled to the retainer body and movable between retracted and extended positions. The gas seal body in the retracted position permits insertion and removal of the electronic module, and in the extended position seals against the electronic module.

  • Publication number: 20230349649
    Abstract: A sealing retainer may be coupled between a chassis and an electronic module. The sealing retainer includes a retainer body to be coupled to the chassis and a first cooling gas passageway that may be aligned with a chassis cooling gas passageway. A gas seal body has a second cooling gas passageway aligned with the first cooling gas passageway and coupled to the retainer body and movable between a retracted position that permits insertion and removal of the electronic module and an extended position that seals against the electronic module.

  • Publication number: 20230254965
    Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic circuit, a heat sink thermally coupled to the electronic circuit, and spaced apart cooling fins extending from the heat sink. Each cooling fin includes a circuit board and a cooling device mounted thereon. The cooling device may have a conductive trace layer on the circuit board defining an electromagnet, a mounting member extending upwardly from the circuit board, a fan blade coupled to an upper end of the mounting member to be movable in a rocking motion about an axis defined by the mounting member, and a permanent magnet carried by the fan blade and responsive to the electromagnet.
