Apparatus and method embodiments are provided for a heat sink mounted on a printed circuit board using a back plate with preload. An apparatus comprises a circuit component, a heat sink on a first side of the circuit component a, a back plate having an initial curvature and positioned at a second side of the circuit component opposite to the heat sink, and one or more screws through the back plate and the circuit component and partially through the heat sink. A method further includes placing and flattening a curved back plate on a second side of a circuit board opposite to the first side, and fastening the back plate, the circuit board, and the heat sink together by inserting a plurality of screws through the back plate, the circuit board, and a partial depth on a single side of the heat sink.

Apparatus and method for a back plate for heat sink mounting

A chassis including a slot configured to receive a printed circuit board having a baffle position pin and electronic components mounted thereon, a guide mechanism mounted within the slot, and a carriage moveably mounted within the slot and biased toward a slot opening by the guide mechanism, the carriage including a baffle suitable to manipulate a flow of air through the slot, the carriage configured to be driven away from the slot opening and to be oriented relative to the electronic components on the printed circuit board by the baffle position pin when the printed circuit board is loaded into the slot such that the baffle directs the flow of air over the electronic components.
