AI Technical Summary
Avionics module assemblies require specific Circuit Card Assembly (CCA) designs with high-density connectors and cooling components, making it difficult to apply a controlled de-mating force when separating base cards and mezzanine cards, which can lead to stress on delicate connector interfaces.
A circuit board separation mechanism featuring a set screw and separation block positioned within a heatsink cut-out, allowing controlled separation of connectors by lifting against the circuit board, with optional actuation inhibitors to limit motion and prevent damage.
Enables controlled and stress-free separation of circuit boards, protecting connector interfaces by applying a lifting force through a single point, reducing the risk of damage during disassembly.
