Abstract
A system for selectively engaging a plurality of electronics modules with a respective heat sink is provided. The system includes a spring element and a force generation system for selectively applying a force on the spring element. The spring element, in response to the force, is configured to generate a first resultant force on a first electronics module in a first direction generally parallel to the direction of said force applied by the force generation system, a second resultant force on a second electronics module in a second direction, the second direction different from the first direction, and a third resultant force on a third electronics module in a third direction, the third direction generally opposite that of the second direction.
