Abstract
An information handling system may include a circuit board, a shield base mounted to a surface of the circuit board, a compression connector housed within the shield base and placed on the surface, an information handling resource housed within the shield base and placed on the compression connector, and a shield cap mechanically coupled to the shield base to cause compressive mechanical force between the shield cap and the circuit board which in turn causes compressive mechanical force among the information handling resource, the compression connector, and the circuit board in order to electrically couple the information handling resource to the circuit board.
Claims17
An information handling system comprising:
- a circuit board;
- a shield base mounted to a surface of the circuit board;
- a compression connector housed within the shield base and placed on the surface;
- a compression-attached memory module housed within the shield base and placed on the compression connector;
- and
- a shield cap mechanically coupled to the shield base to cause compressive mechanical force between the shield cap and the circuit board which in turn causes compressive mechanical force among the compression-attached memory module, the compression connector, and the circuit board in order to electrically couple the compression-attached memory module to the circuit board.
An assembly comprising:
- a shield base configured to:
- mount to a surface of a circuit board;
- house a compression connector within the shield base;
- house a compression-attached memory module within the shield base;
- and
- a shield cap configured to mechanically couple to the shield base to cause compressive mechanical force between the shield cap and the circuit board to cause compressive mechanical force among the compression-attached memory module, the compression connector, and the circuit board in order to electrically couple the compression-attached memory module to the circuit board.
A method comprising:
- mounting a shield base to a surface of a circuit board, the shield base configured to:
- house a compression connector within the shield base;
- house a compression-attached memory module within the shield base;
- and
- mechanically couple to a shield cap to cause compressive mechanical force between the shield cap and the circuit board to cause compressive mechanical force among the compression-attached memory module, the compression connector, and the circuit board in order to electrically couple the compression-attached memory module to the circuit board.
