Abstract
Method and systems for clamping at least one circuit card within a case are provided. The method includes compressing axially at least one resilient element between a head of a shaft and a nut disposed on the shaft so that the at least one resilient element bulges generally perpendicularly to the axial direction and into engagement with the at least one circuit card, exerting a force on the at least one circuit card using the at least one resilient element and maintaining the force on the at least one circuit card using the at least one resilient element.
