Aspects of the subject technology relate to a circuit board mounting assembly for use in a downhole tool. The assembly can include a sleeve comprising a plurality of flaps and a circuit board disposed on the proximal end of the sleeve and secured by the plurality of flaps. The assembly can include a hollow housing comprising a shoulder on an interior surface of the housing at a proximal portion of the housing and a circuit board disposed on the shoulder of the housing. The assembly can further include a groove disposed on the interior surface and a ring disposed within the groove. The assembly can further include a threaded portion on the interior surface extending from a distal end of the housing and a nut threadedly engaged with the threaded portion of the housing. An example method for mounting a circuit board in a downhole tool can include disposing a circuit board on a shoulder of a housing, engaging a periphery of the circuit board, inserting the housing within a cavity of a downhole tool and installing a cap over the cavity to prevent removal of the housing from the downhole tool.

A fastener includes a base having a joint plate extended therefrom toward a first direction, a joint plate extended from the joint plate toward a second direction and configured to secure to an electronic base board, and a fastening member protruded thereon toward a third direction. The fastener includes an elastic compressive unit connected to the joint plate and including a pushing part configured to abut with a circuit board downwardly rotated. Subject to the stress in the first direction and applied by the circuit board, the pushing part is moved back and the elastically-compressive unit is compressed to make the circuit board rotate to the bottom side of the pushing part, and an edge of the circuit board can be inserted into and abutted thereon the fastening member, and the circuit board is accommodated in a fastening space formed on the outside of the fastening member.

A card/chassis coupling system includes a chassis defining a chassis housing with a chassis wall defining a card entrance to the chassis housing. The chassis wall engages a securing element on a card to secure it in the chassis housing. A card/chassis release device adjacent the card entrance includes a base in the chassis housing, and a card mover member and securing element release member that are each moveably coupled to the base and to an actuator member extending through the chassis wall. Movement of the actuator member into the chassis housing causes the securing element release member to move relative to the base to engage the securing element on the card and disengage it from the chassis wall, and causes the card mover member to move relative to the base to engage the card and move it through the card entrance and out of the chassis housing.

A rack power distribution unit (rPDU) includes a chassis having one or more cutouts formed therein. The rPDU further includes one or more outlet assemblies within the outlet cutout. The outlet assembly includes a body having a front and a back, with the front having an outer flange and at least one outlet receptacle. The back of the body is configured to be inserted within the outlet cutout. The outlet assembly further includes a neutral terminal, at least one live terminal, and a ground. The outlet assembly further includes a fastener configured to secure the outlet assembly to the chassis. The rPDU further includes one or more printed circuit boards configured to the be secured to the chassis. The printed circuit board includes a first connector configured to connect to the neutral terminal and a second connector configured to connect to the live terminal.

A quick release connecting device includes an actuating retainer and a fixing member movably assembled to the actuating retainer. The fixing member includes a pivot portion and a pivot member movably mounted to the pivot portion; and the pivot member is coupled with a second object. The fixing member includes a limiting section and the pivot member includes a corresponding limiting section, such that the limiting section and the corresponding limiting section limit or stop each other at a specific location when the fixing member is moved or rotated. With these arrangements, the quick release connecting device can be applied to conveniently and repeatedly connect and separate a circuit board, a drawer, or a window to and from a corresponding rack, chassis, cabinet or window frame.

A substrate magazine for a substrate insertion system, having a frame in which several drawers for receiving in each case at least one flat substrate are arranged one above the other. Each drawer is formed by two guide rails, arranged in parallel and at a distance from one another at the same height as that of the frame, each with a sliding surface on which a substrate lying on the edge can be displaced. At least one elastically displaceable latching element is assigned to each drawer. In a first, unloaded state, the at least one latching element extends at least partially over the sliding surface of one of the guide rails of the drawer and, in a second, elastically deformed state, releases the sliding surface.

A card/chassis coupling system includes a chassis defining a chassis housing with a chassis wall defining a card entrance to the chassis housing. The chassis wall engages a securing element on a card to secure it in the chassis housing. A card/chassis release device adjacent the card entrance includes a base in the chassis housing, and a card mover member and securing element release member that are each moveably coupled to the base and to an actuator member extending through the chassis wall. Movement of the actuator member into the chassis housing causes the securing element release member to move relative to the base to engage the securing element on the card and disengage it from the chassis wall, and causes the card mover member to move relative to the base to engage the card and move it through the card entrance and out of the chassis housing.

A connector assembling structure is provided. The connector assembling structure includes a shell, a circuit board, a connector, a fixing member, and an elastic member. The circuit board is disposed on the shell. The connector is disposed on the circuit board. The fixing member is fixed on the shell. The elastic member is disposed on the fixing member. The circuit board includes a pillar. The fixing member includes a fixing member opening corresponding to the pillar. The pillar passes through the fixing member opening. The size of the fixing member opening is greater than the size of the pillar, such that the circuit board and the elastic member may move relative to the fixing member through the fixing member opening.

An apparatus and method for engaging a mounting panel of a computer device includes a bracket, as well as a lever and slider mechanism connected to the bracket. The lever and slider mechanism includes a base, a wedge slider, a lever, a geared bar, and a biasing element. The base is connected to the bracket. The wedge slider is connected to the bracket and disposed immediately below the base. Rotating the lever from a first position to a second position causes a gear to engage the geared bar, causing the geared bar to move vertically. The rotating allows movement along the contact between an angled end of the geared bar and a wedged end protrusion of the wedge slider such that the biasing element pushes the wedge slider away from the bracket and allows the wedge slider to engage an opening in a mounting panel.
