Abstract
Card locks for securing electronics card in card slots within cages and designed and configured to allow each card lock to impart high uniform pressure between an electronics card and the corresponding card slot to maximize heat transfer from the electronics card to the card cage to efficiently sink heat generated onboard the electronics card. In some embodiments, a high-pressure card lock of the present disclosure has a pair of low-angle wedges and a locking mechanism that effectively pushes one of the wedges along the other wedge to put the high-pressure card lock into its locked, high-pressure-exerting state. In other embodiments, a high-pressure card lock of the present disclosure has a pair of low-angle wedges and a locking mechanism that effectively draws one of the wedges along the other wedge to put the high-pressure card lock into its locked, high-pressure-exerting state.
