An apparatus to retain modules within a Motor Control Center (MCC) includes a plate mounted to each side of the module housing and at least one spring mounted to each plate within the module housing. The plate includes a hook at one end which connects to and pivots about an opening in the module while retaining the plate to the module. The plate also includes a retaining member extending through an opening in the module housing and configured to receive one end of the spring. The spring is under tension when connected between the retaining member of the plate and the module housing, pulling the retaining member toward the module housing. A biasing member which engages the housing of the MCC as the module is inserted is compressed toward the module during insertion. The spring pushes the biasing member outward after insertion, positively retaining the module to the MCC.

A component throttling power backup charging system includes a chassis defining a chassis housing and a chassis air inlet to the chassis housing, at least one component located in the chassis housing and adjacent the chassis air inlet, and a power backup device located opposite the at least one component from the chassis air inlet. The power backup device determines that a charging condition has been satisfied. The power backup device then determines that a temperature of air being provided to the power backup device exceeds a threshold temperature and, in response, transmits a throttling instruction that is configured to cause throttling of the at least one component. The power backup device subsequently determines that the temperature of the air being provided to the power backup device no longer exceeds the threshold temperature and, in response, performs charging operations.

A power supply unit (PSU) housing configured to receive a PSU is disclosed. The PSU housing includes a top panel, a bottom panel opposite to the top panel, a first side panel, a second side panel opposite to the first side panel, and a PSU cover. The first side panel and the second side panel define a width of the PSU housing. The PSU cover extends along the width of the PSU housing. The PSU cover includes a first elongated plate and a second elongated plate, which are perpendicular to each other. The PSU cover is rotatable relative to the top panel, such that (i) in a first orientation, the first elongated plate of the PSU cover is above and parallel to the top panel, and (ii) in a second orientation, the second elongated plate of the PSU cover is about flush and parallel to the top panel.

Embodiments are disclosed of a power delivery module that includes a power delivery board rotatable between a first orientation and a second orientation about a first axis that is normal to the power delivery board, and rotatable power clip module. Two pairs of electrical contacts are on the board: a first pair, one positive and one negative, and a second pair of electrical contacts, one positive and one negative. The two pairs of contacts are spaced apart from each other on the same side of the board. The rotatable power clip module is coupled to the power delivery board and includes a pair of contacts pads to engage with, and electrically couple to, the first or the second pairs of contacts. A power clip is electrically coupled to each contact pad. The clip module is rotatable about a second axis parallel to, and spaced apart from, the first axis between a first position, where the contact pads engage the first pair of contacts, and a second position where the contact pads engage the second pair of contacts.

Adaptive cooling system and methods, docking stations for electronic devices, and systems using the same are described. In embodiments the active cooling systems include a controller that compares a detected temperature of at least a component of a first electronic device to a first temperature threshold (T1D1) for the first electronic device. When the first temperature is ≥T1D1, the controller may issue a control signal that causes a cooling system for a second electronic device to operate at a defined duty level. In embodiments the adaptive cooling systems are incorporated into equipment for a vehicle, such as a vehicle center console. The docking stations may function as a battery eliminator and/or an uninterruptible power supply, and may include a mount, a power connector, and optionally a data connection, which may couple to corresponding device power and device data connections of an electronic device that is coupled to the mount.
