  • Card Lock Retainer For Pluggable Conduction Cooled Circuit Card Assemblies
    Publication number: 20130003316
    Abstract: A system is disclosed for releasably locking a circuit card assembly to a cold plate of a chassis. The system includes a locking mechanism having a base and a locking wedge. The base and locking wedge have triangular cross-sections, and mate with each other along respective diagonal surfaces of the base and locking wedge. The locking wedge is mounted to the base such that axial movement of the locking wedge relative to the base also results in sliding of the locking wedge up the diagonal surface of the base to increase the overall height of the base and locking wedge together.
