Modular low stress package technology

A protective modular package cover, comprising:

• first and second fastening sections located at opposing first and second ends of the protective modular package cover and configured to fasten the protective modular package cover to a core,
• the first fastening section comprising:
• a first foot located on a bottom surface of the first fastening section at the first end of the protective modular package cover and configured to make contact with the core;
• a first torque element disposed on the first foot adjacent the outer edge of the first end of the protective modular package cover;
• and
• a first mounting hole that extends through the first fastening section from a top surface of the first fastening section to the bottom surface of the first fastening section, is coupled to the first torque element, and is configured to receive a first fastener therein;
• and the second fastening section comprising:
• a second foot located on a bottom surface of the second fastening section at the second end of the protective modular package cover and configured to make contact with the core;
• a second torque element disposed on the second foot adjacent the outer edge of the second end of the protective modular package cover;
• and
• a second mounting hole that extends through the second fastening section from a top surface of the second fastening section to the bottom surface of the second fastening section, is coupled to the second torque element, and is configured to receive a second fastener therein;
• and
• one or more subassembly receiving sections disposed between the first and second fastening sections and each subassembly receiving section of the one or more subassembly receiving sections configured to receive a subassembly, wherein each subassembly receiving section of the one or more subassembly receiving sections comprises a cross member formed along the underside of the protective modular package cover;
• wherein activation of the first torque element of the first fastening section or the second torque element of the second fastening section transfers a downward clamping force generated at the first or second fastening elements to a top surface of one or more subassemblies disposed in the one or more subassembly receiving sections via the cross member of each of the one or more subassembly receiving sections.
