An avionics chassis comprises a composite housing, a radio wave shield, and a lightning strike conductive path, wherein the radio wave shield attenuates electromagnetic interference entering and leaving the housing, and the lightning strike conductive path directs the current from a lightning strike away from an interior of the housing.

Housings for electrical or electronic components made using braid or woven fabric sheets having multiple sections treated with different materials as well as processes and materials for making such housings are disclosed.

Electric or electronic modules may be carried by an electrically shielded module carrier that includes a cover element and a base element enclosing at least one mounting region which is divided into a front section and a rear section by an intermediate wall card. Holding elements for inserted flat modules are laterally provided in each section and include guiding gratings which face each other in pairs and are integrated into an electromagnetic shield. The cover element and the base element are connected to the guiding gratings of the front section in a fixed manner and are detachably connected to the guiding gratings of the rear section.

An avionics chassis comprises a housing having a substantially thermally non-conductive frame comprising a composite of carbon fibers laid up in an epoxy matrix. The housing also includes at least two walls, at least one of which is a thermally conductive wall comprising a composite of carbon fibers in a carbonized matrix, and a plurality of spaced, thermally-conductive, card rails provided on the at least two walls. The at least two walls are mounted to the frame in opposing relationship such that corresponding card rails on the walls define an effective slot therebetween in which a printed circuit board may be received and the card rails and the at least one thermally conductive wall form a thermally conductive path from the interior to the exterior.

A rack-based information handling system (RIHS) includes: a rack chassis having a plurality of interconnected panels forming a volumetric space having a front section and a rear section, both with opposing side panels forming a front access space and a rear access space, respectively, between corresponding opposing side panels; one or more IT gear sleds that are inserted into the front section of the rack chassis; and a pair of front expansion panels that are added to the rack chassis and which extend past an end of the opposing side panels at the front section of the rack chassis to provide a deeper IT bay within the front section and enable insertion of longer-than-standard depth IT gear within the rack chassis. The front expansion panels are cable management panels that include at least one strap that is utilized to secure one or more cables extending from one or more IT gear inserted into the rack chassis.

An improved carrier comprises a tray, an EMC component, and a bezel. The EMC component comprises a top spring set and a bottom spring set. Each spring set comprises a plurality of spring biased contacts connected by a plate and a bar so that each spring set moves in unison when depressed or released. Each tray has a first flange and a second flange and each of the flanges has a cut out portion. When an improved carrier is moved out of an array enclosure, the flanges depress the top spring of the EMC component of the carrier below. When the improved carrier is moved into the array enclosure, the flanges depress the top spring set of the carrier below until the top spring set of the carrier below is released by the cut-out portions of the flanges. When released, the top spring set of the carrier below contacts the bottom spring set of the carrier above to form a continuous EMC shield.

An enclosure or containment system for expansion cards includes first and second sub-enclosures that interengage to form an enclosure assembly that substantially surrounds the major surface areas of the expansion card while providing support along some of the edges thereof to provide a protected volume that physically protects and shields the electronic and electrical components on the expansion card while providing enhanced heat transfer therefrom.

A docking apparatus for printed circuit boards including a cassette housing, having a housing base, a housing cover and a housing wall, wherein the housing base and the housing wall are disposed relative to each other so as to define a housing cavity for containing a printed circuit card and wherein the housing wall includes a cable opening disposed so as to be communicated with the housing cavity, a housing bezel, disposed relative to the cassette housing so as to be associated with the cable opening and translatable therein, the housing bezel is in electrical communication with the printed circuit card and translatable therewith when the printed circuit card is engaged and disengaged with a printed circuit board, and an EMC sealing device disposed between the housing bezel and the cassette housing, the EMC sealing device configured to provide a movable EMC seal proximate the cable opening while still allowing airflow therethrough while covering a portion of the cable opening created between the housing and the housing bezel upon translation of the bezel.

An RF management system especially suitable for use in CATV head end environments is disclosed. The system is characterized by a basic rack-mountable chassis component that can be configured for both front and rear mount applications, for different cable management solutions and for accepting eighteen passive RF modules or nine active RF modules or a combination of passive and active RF circuit modules. The active configuration of the chassis has an integrated power bus with at least nine connectors for receiving up to nine active RF circuit modules. The active RF circuit modules, such as power supplies and amplifiers are each provided with a “floating” connector for ease in connecting the power supply module or amplifier module to the power bus. The RF power supply module is capable of supplying power to all the active RF modules in the chassis as well as to active RF modules mounted in one or more other chassis in the rack.

Protective containers for electronic equipment, and methods of testing, use, and / or manufacture thereof, are provided. The cabinets provide a HEMP protection level to electronic equipment housed therein that meets a HEMP protection level according to MIL-STD-188-125-1.
