Electronic module and fabrication method thereof

An electronic module is provided, including an electronic element and a strengthening layer formed on a side surface of the electronic element but not formed on an active surface of the electronic element so as to strengthen the structure of the electronic module. Therefore, the electronic element is prevented from being damaged when the electronic module is picked and placed.

Toolless card lock mechanism

A securing mechanism for retaining a daughter board upon the primary board includes a base, which is moveably assembled upon the main board, and a latch assembled upon the base and moveable between a locking position and an unlocking position. The base forms a support platform upwardly abutting against the underside of the daughter board and equipped with an arc protrusion for receipt within a notch of the daughter board, and a grounding piece with one end mechanically and electrically connecting a grounding pad of the daughter board and the other end mechanically and electrically connecting a grounding pad on the main board. The base forms a horizontal slot to receive the main body so as to retain the base to the main body in position in the vertical direction. The latch forms a pressing face downwardly pressing an upper side of the daughter board.

Alignment mechanism for removable module

An electronic device includes a chassis housing one or more electronic components, a module configured to be inserted into a channel defined by the chassis, and an alignment mechanism disposed in the channel. The alignment mechanism has a body portion that defines an aperture. When the module is initially inserted into the channel in a first orientation, a first portion of the module passes over the aperture and compresses the body portion of the alignment mechanism along a first axis, to allow the module to be fully inserted into the channel. When the module is initially inserted into the channel in a second orientation, a second portion of the module passes through the aperture and does not compress the body portion of the alignment mechanism along the first axis, to prevent the module from being fully inserted into the channel.

Clamp for panel-mounted electronics modules or other devices

A system includes (i) a module configured to be mounted on a panel and (ii) a clamp. The clamp includes a retaining section configured to receive and retain a threaded structure. The retaining section is also configured to be connected to and apply force against the module. The clamp also includes a contact section configured to contact the panel and apply force against the panel. The clamp further includes a connecting portion connecting the retaining section and the contact section. The connecting portion is configured to allow part of the threaded structure to contact the contact section in order to create the forces applied against the panel and the module. The connecting portion can be elastic such that a separation of the retaining section and the contact section changes as the threaded structure pushes against the contact section.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME

A first main body portion and a second main body portion of an electronic package are mounted on a mount portion of a support body, first metal projections are caused to enter first receiving recesses, and second metal projections are caused to enter second receiving recesses. When a clip member is mounted in the a first direction, the first metal projections are pressed by first pressing portions of the clip member, the second metal projections are pressed by second pressing portions of the clip member, and an elastic piece is pressed against a rear side of the support body. Thus, the electronic package is secured.
