Abstract: A fluid system and a blind-mate fluid fitting can be operable to allow for mating fluid system components even in the presence of angular, radial, and/or axial port misalignment. The blind-mate fluid fitting includes a shoulder and fitting portion extending from one side of the shoulder. The fitting portion defines a central fitting axis and is operable to inserted into a fluid port of a component. The fluid port defines a central port axis. The fitting portion includes a sealing portion that is operable to seal against the fluid port when the central fitting axis is positioned at a zero angle and at least one of a plurality of different non-zero angles relative to the central port axis.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB) including a surface that has a layer of circuitry. The apparatus also includes a heat sink configured to receive heat from the PCB. The apparatus further includes a thermally-conductive post configured to remove the heat from the PCB to the heat sink via thermal conduction through a thermal path. The thermal path is substantially orthogonal to the surface of the PCB. The post includes an end configured to physically couple to the layer of circuitry.

Abstract: A connectable assembly is provided and includes a body defining a recess, a male conductive element supportively disposed proximate to the body and a conductive compliant (CC) plug disposed within the recess for establishing a radially compliant, axially free running electrical connection with the male conductive element.
