An apparatus for aligning a bracket member of a circuit board assembly as the bracket member is positioned against and secured to an electronic chassis is provided. A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board operatively attached to a bracket member. The bracket member includes a first end, a second end, an outer surface and an inner surface. A gasket is longitudinally oriented along the outer surface of the bracket member. A first pin extends from the inner surface adjacent the first end, and a second pin extends from the inner surface adjacent the second end. An electronic chassis includes a top flange and a bottom flange. The top flange includes a top flange opening and the bottom flange includes a bottom flange opening. The first pin is aligned with and extends through the top flange opening and the second pin is aligned with and extends through the bottom flange opening to align the bracket member as the bracket member is positioned against and secured to the electronic chassis.

Apparatus and method for aligning a circuit board assembly in an electronic chassis

An apparatus and method for shielding electromagnetic interference (EMI) and fastening housing members includes a clip for fastening to a first housing member including a length. The clip includes a plurality of longitudinally oriented openings formed therein and a plurality of dimples formed therein spaced along the length of the clip for engaging with a second housing member.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield and fastener apparatus and

An apparatus for mounting a circuit board assembly to an electronic chassis is provided. A circuit board assembly includes a circuit board operatively attached to a bracket member having a first end and a second end. A first connector member is rotatably attached to the first end, and a second connector member is rotatably attached to the second end. The first connector member includes a first hook portion and a first handle portion. The second connector member includes a second hook portion and a second handle portion. The first and second hook portions each include a first surface and a second surface oriented at an angle to the first surface. The first surface of the first hook portion contacts with a first spring and the first surface of the second hook portion contacts with a second spring to orient the first and second connectors in an insertion position. The second surface of the first hook portion contacts with the first spring and the second surface of the second hook portion contacts with the second spring to orient the first and second connector members in an intermediate position and a locked position.
