  • Patent number: 11837830
    Abstract: A hinged busbar assembly includes a first mounting busbar configured to be electrically and mechanically connected to the first component at a fixed connection, a second mounting busbar configured to be electrically and mechanically connected to the second component at a fixed connection, and at least two extension busbars extending between the first and second mounting busbars. Adjacent extension busbars are electrically and mechanically connected to each other at a pivotal connection. One of the at least two extension busbars is electrically and mechanically connected to the first mounting busbar at a pivotal connection, and another one of the at least two extension busbars is electrically and mechanically connected to the second mounting busbar at a pivotal connection. Each pivotal connection includes at least one extension extending from each adjacent busbar and at least one electrical contact mounted in each extension, and a pin inserted through the electrical contacts.

  • Publication number: 20220159878
    Abstract: A card has a rear portion with contact pads provided therein and has an input/output (I/O) connector assembly mounted on a first side with the I/O connector assembly including a receptacle connector positioned in a cage. A heat sink assembly is mounted on the cage and is configured to extend into the cage so as to help cool an inserted plug module. If desired a second heat sink can be mounted on a second side of the card. The second heat sink can extend through an aperture in the card into a port defined by the I/O connector assembly so that a module inserted into the port can be cooled from two sides.

  • Patent number: 11283248
    Abstract: A spine is configured to support and protect a cable harness. The spine includes a plurality of segments arranged along an axis. Each segment includes a first and second housing parts which can be closed to form a passageway or can be opened to expose cavities within each housing part. The housing parts are mated together at adjacent ends by couplings. The housing parts form at least one opening which accepts a cable of the cable harness. A lock is engaged to lock the housing parts in a closed position.
