Enclosures are also provided, which allow modules to be configured and secured in both a horizontal and vertical direction. Thus, modules may be interconnected to other modules on each side, as well as interconnected to other modules stacked above or below the module. | 2011-12-29 |
20110317374 | MODULAR ELECTRICAL CARD FOR POWER COMPONENTS - The electrical card has power modules constituted by power components and by control components that are carried by strips fastened on a support plate comprising an electrical ground plate.

20110317375 | ALIGNMENT PIN FOR RETAINING A MODULE ON A CIRCUIT BOARD - An alignment pin is provided. The alignment pin includes an alignment member that is configured to extend from a surface of a circuit board. The alignment member has a flange that engages an electronic module. The flange aligns and retains the electronic module on the circuit board. A coupling member extends from the alignment member. The coupling member is configured to be through hole mounted to an aperture in the circuit board. The coupling member has a retention feature that creates a press-fit between a surface of the aperture and the coupling member. The coupling member has a cross-sectional width at the retention feature that is greater than a diameter of the aperture. The retention feature accommodates a press-fit with apertures having different diameters. | 2011-12-29 |
