A heat sink for a solid-state drive (SSD) storage device for use as an extended memory in an expansion slot of a gaming console has a metal top plate of sufficient width and length to cover the exterior opening of the expansion slot. The top plate has fins on its upper surface that extend at a diagonal across the longitudinal extent of the top plate. The heat sink further includes a metal bulk body connected to the bottom of the top plate and having a sufficient width and length to nearly fill the interior of the expansion slot and a thickness so that when the heat sink is mounted on the SSD storage device, the top plate is positioned above the upper edge of the expansion slot. A thermal adhesive is provided on the bottom of the bulk body for fastening the heat sink to the top of the SSD storage device.

Foldable Compression Attached Memory Modules (fCAMMs) and associated apparatus, assemblies and systems. The fCAMM comprises a compression contact module having a plurality of contact means arranged in one or more arrays on its underside, first and second fold modules including multiple memory devices, and flexible interconnects coupling the compression contact module to the first and second fold modules. Under one assembled configuration, portions of printed circuit boards (PCBs) for the first and second fold modules are folded over portions of the compression contact module. Under another configuration, the first fold module is disposed above the second fold module, which is disposed above the compression contact module. In an assembly or system including a motherboard, a compression mount technology (CMT) connector or a land grid array (LGA) assembly is disposed between the motherboard and the compression contact module. Bolster plates are used to urge the compression contact module toward the motherboard.

The present application provides a tool-free PCIE fixing apparatus, including: a Riser module bracket; a plurality of PCIE card connectors, each configured to fix a PCIE card; a die casting, in an upright state and fixed at one side of the Riser module bracket along a width direction thereof; and a pressing fixation plate, being in an upright state and pivoted at one side of the Riser module bracket along the width direction thereof Δn inner side of the pressing fixation plate is provided with locking pieces. The die casting defines therein locking holes configured to form elastic snap-fitting connection with the locking pieces, respectively. Each of the plurality of PCIE card connectors defines therein a locking slot configured to allow one of the locking pieces to pass through.

In some examples, a tool-less electronic component retention apparatus includes a bracket to affix to a circuit board, and a spring-loaded arm attached to the bracket. The spring-loaded arm has an engagement tab that is angled downwardly to engage an upper surface of an electronic component to mount the electronic component to the circuit board. The spring-loaded arm is pivotable between an engaged position and a release position by a user without use of a tool.

A circuit board device includes a fixing member and a circuit board having a first hole. The fixing member includes abase having a second positioning portion and an opening, a first fixing component and a pillar structure having a first pillar body and a positioning pillar extending downward from the first pillar body and having a first positioning portion and a clamping portion. The clamping portion clamps the circuit board with the first pillar body when the first positioning portion is engaged with the first hole. The base is disposed in the first hole and abuts against the positioning pillar when the second positioning portion hooks the first hole and the opening is engaged with the positioning pillar. The first fixing component is detachably inserted into the pillar structure for clamping a first interface card with the first pillar body.

A system includes a computing system, a snap rivet, and a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). The computing system includes a chassis. The snap rivet includes a rivet and a cap, and the cap is secured to the chassis. The PCBA includes a pin base. The pin base has a washer portion with a hole. The pin base is configured to receive the cap through the hole. The cap protrudes through the hole and mechanically engages the rivet to secure the PCBA to the chassis. The snap rivet provides for tool-less installation and removal of the PCBA from the chassis of the computing system.

A mother board with a central processing unit and two riser slots configured to cooperate with one riser card for connecting two expansion cards to the mother board. The first riser slot and the second riser slot may be connected by metal traces to the central processing unit, and the two riser slots may be spaced apart by a distance greater than 8 cm.

A detachably fixing device includes a base, a circuit board carrying plate, and a sliding plate. The circuit board carrying plate is slidably disposed on the base in a first direction and has a carrying plate linkage portion. The sliding plate is slidably disposed on the base in a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are non-parallel. The sliding plate has a sliding plate linkage portion mechanically connected with the carrying plate linkage portion, and an engaging portion. The circuit board carrying plate is operable to move to make the sliding plate slide outward relative to the base to make the engaging portion protrude from the base. An electronic apparatus casing includes a casing frame and the detachably fixing device. The detachably fixing device is detachably disposed on the casing frame. The engaging portion is separably engaged with an engaging structure of the casing frame.

A power connector includes a first printed circuit board (PCB) to connect to a plurality of power cables and receive power from the plurality of power cables. The power connector also includes a plug, which is electrically connected to the first PCB, to connect to a graphics card and provide the power to the graphics card. The power connector may further include a second PCB electrically connected between the first PCB and the plug, a casing to house the first PCB and/or the second PCB, and/or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to be illuminated during operation of the graphics card.

An electronic device having a detachable memory is provided with a docking connector, and includes a device body and a memory. The device body has an accommodating slot and a stopping portion provided corresponding to the accommodating slot, and the stopping portion and the accommodating slot jointly form a displacement space in between. The memory is provided with a connector and a protruding stopped portion. When the memory is accommodated in the accommodating slot, the stopped portion is moved along into the displacement space and is stopped by the stopping portion, and the connector is docked with the docking connector. Thus, the memory is provided with an anti-misplugging effect.
