An electronic device for an aircraft includes: a casing; a first boss projecting from a bottom wall of the casing toward an opening of the casing; a second boss projecting from the bottom wall of the casing toward the opening of the casing by a larger amount than the first boss; a first circuit board fixed to the first boss; and a second circuit board fixed to the second boss. The first circuit board includes cutouts penetrated by the second boss when the first circuit board is fixed to the first boss.

An electronic component module assembly includes a printed wiring board, and a stiffener assembly affixed to a first side of the printed wiring board. The stiffener assembly includes an outer stiffener secured to the printed wiring board, an inner stiffener removably located in an opening of the outer stiffener. The inner stiffener has one or more inner stiffener pockets formed therein, and one or more electronic components are installed in one or more inner stiffener pockets, and electrically connected to the printed wiring board.

A circuit board fixing structure comprising a first fixing element and a first circuit board is provided. The first fixing element includes a shaft, a first flange and a second flange. One end of the shaft is provided with a receiving portion. The first flange is connected with a side surface of the shaft. The second flange is connected with the side surface of the shaft and is spaced apart from the first flange. The first circuit board is fixed on a surface of the first flange away from the second flange.

In an example, a movable lock may include a lock bar and a pivot disposed at a first end of the lock bar. The movable lock may also include a card retainer disposed on the lock bar at a second end of the lock bar, opposite the first end. The card retainer may include a card notch sized to receive an edge of a system card.

An electronics assembly can include a circuit board comprising a stress sensitive device and a stiffening member operatively connected to the circuit board to stiffen the circuit board. The assembly can include a housing disposed around the circuit board and the stiffening member to contain circuit board and the stiffening member. The assembly can include one or more elastic and/or flexible bumpers disposed between the circuit board and the housing to provide shock absorption to the circuit board within the housing.

A vehicular accessory module includes a circuit board and a metal enclosure. An electrically conductive grounding contact affixed at a first side of the circuit board and electrically connected to circuitry at the circuit board. The grounding contact is disposed between and contacts both the first side of the circuit board and the metal enclosure to provide an electrical connection between the circuit board and the metal enclosure. The grounding contact includes an abrasive surface that is in contact with the metal enclosure. Movement of the grounding contact relative to the metal enclosure causes the abrasive surface to scrape the metal enclosure to enhance grounding of the grounding contact with the metal enclosure.

A soldering component and a method of fitting it to boards are introduced. The soldering component includes a body and a fitting portion. The fitting portion is fitted to an object. The body has an engaging portion with an elastic retraction space conducive to elastic retraction of two or more engagement portions, allowing the engagement portions to engage with another object. The soldering component has a weldable surface to be soldered to a weldable surface of the object. The weldable surface of the object has a built-in solder layer adapted to be heated for soldering the soldering component and the weldable surface of the object together. The soldering component is disposed in a carrier, taken out with a tool, compared with the object by a comparison device to determine a fitting position on the object, positioned at the fitting position with the tool, thereby being fitted to the object.

A temperature-variable standoff includes a temperature-variable electrical element. The standoff also includes a support body that supports the temperature-variable electrical element and that is configured to support a circuit board separated at a distance from another component of an electronics assembly. The support body is configured to attach to the circuit board and to project away from the circuit board with a first end proximate the circuit board and a second end spaced away from the circuit board. The standoff further includes an electrical connector supported proximate the first end. The electrical connector is configured to electrically connect within an electrical circuit of the circuit board to provide the electrical input to the temperature-variable electrical element for selectively varying the temperature thereof.

An electronics unit includes a housing, the housing having a base portion with a post member extending from the base portion. The post member has a through-hole defined through the post member. A printed circuit board is connected to the housing at a plurality of connection points. The printed circuit board includes one or more electric or electronic components disposed thereon and has an aperture. The post member is disposed through the aperture of the printed circuit board. A distal end portion of the post member is larger than a diameter of the aperture so as to fix the printed circuit board to the housing, forming one of the connection points.

A circuit board fixing structure comprising a first fixing element and a first circuit board is provided. The first fixing element includes a shaft, a first flange and a second flange. One end of the shaft is provided with a receiving portion. The first flange is connected with a side surface of the shaft. The second flange is connected with the side surface of the shaft and is spaced apart from the first flange. The first circuit board is fixed on a surface of the first flange away from the second flange.
