Stop Align Lateral Module To Module Interconnect
US Patent:
6116915, Sep 12, 2000
Filed:
Sep 9, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/927359
Inventors:
Kent T. McDaniel - Altoona WI

Assignee:
Cray Research, Inc. - Eagan MN
International Classification:
H01R 909
US Classification:
439 65
Abstract:
An information handling system includes stacks of printed circuit boards interconnected using an interconnection system. The printed circuit boards include network boards, system interface boards, memory boards, and central processing unit boards. The interconnection system for electrically connecting the various printed circuit boards includes a set of interconnection modules placed adjacent one another to form a substantially aligned row. The interconnection modules can be used to connect one stack to an orthogonally oriented stack or to a parallel oriented stack. The printed circuit board used in the interconnection system includes an inner rail positioned near the edge of the printed circuit board, an outer rail positioned near the edge of the printed circuit board, and an alignment stop attached to or positioned near one of the inner or outer rail. The most distant interconnection module of a row of aligned modules includes a spring attached thereto. The spring biases the set of interconnection modules toward the alignment stop to lessen the amount of stack up tolerance or float between the individual modules in the aligned row of interconnection modules.
Module Connector Assembly And Method Therefor
US Patent:
2003020, Nov 6, 2003
Filed:
May 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/137831
Inventors:
David Burger - Chippewa Falls WI, US
Bradley Smith - Eau Claire WI, US
Bradley Smith - Eau Claire WI, US
Assignee:
Cray Inc.
International Classification:
H01R013/62
US Classification:
439/310000
Abstract:
A module connector assembly includes a mounting apparatus, and at least one module assembly coupled with a portion of the mounting apparatus, where the at least one module assembly includes a plurality of electronic components that are coupled to the module assembly. The module connector assembly further includes one or more shuttle assemblies coupled with the module assembly with a shuttle cable. The module connector assembly further includes at least one flexible circuit cable assembly and/or a twin axial cable assembly electrically coupled with one or more of the shuttle assemblies. Optionally, the shuttle cable includes one or more metal layers.

International Classification:
H05K 7/20
US Classification:
361697, 361704, 361702
Abstract:
A system and method for cooling a plurality of connectors interfacing electrical and optical signals to circuit boards in an electronics cabinet, such as backplane connectors routing signals to circuit boards housed in card cage assemblies. Heat pipes coupled to the connectors efficiently remove heat from the connectors and sink the connector heat to a cold junction of a liquid cooling system, which cooling system may also extract heat from air flow cooling the circuit boards such that the system is room neutral, meaning that the ambient temperature remains constant during operation of the system. The heat connector cooling system is effective where connectors are outside of an air flow cooling envelope that may cool the circuit boards.
