Filed:

Jul 18, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/198520

Inventors:

Steve I. Lebo - Cedar Rapids IA

Assignee:

Rockwell Collins, Inc. - Cedar Rapids IA

International Classification:

H05K 502

US Classification:

361730, 361732, 361731, 361728, 361729, 361796, 361807, 439152, 211 4117

Abstract:

A ruggedized electronics system is disclosed. The ruggedized electronics system includes at least one ruggedized electronics module. The electronics module has an electrical module coupling. The ruggedized electronics system also includes an open framed chassis provided with more than one electrical chassis coupling. At least one electrical chassis coupling is coupled to at least one electronic module. The electronics modules may be coupled to and decoupled from the chassis, so that the system may be selectively reconfigured.

International Classification:

H05K 712

US Classification:

361679, 361801, 211 4117

Abstract:

A ruggedized electronics module is disclosed. The ruggedized electronics module includes a housing supporting an electronic subsystem device. The housing is environmentally sealed. The ruggedized electronics module also includes a module restraint extending from the housing the restraint is configured to mate with a complementary shaped restraint on a mounting adapter. The module restraint is configured to restrain the module from movement in six degrees of freedom.

US Classification:

361703, 361704, 361719, 165 803, 165185

Abstract:

A ruggedized electronics sub-system module is disclosed. The ruggedized electronics sub-system module includes a ruggedized housing and an electronic device supported by the housing. The ruggedized electronics sub-system module also includes an electrical connector coupled to the electronic device and supported by the housing. The ruggedized electronics sub-system module further includes a plurality of ruggedized cooling pins extending from the housing. The plurality of pins are spaced so as to allow for natural convective currents or forced air to be used for cooling the electronic device.

Abstract:

A ruggedized electronics module is disclosed. The ruggedized electronics module includes a housing supporting an electronics sub-system device. A module restraint extends from the housing. The module restraint is configured to mate with a complementary shaped restraint on a mounting adapter. The module restraint is configured to restrain the module from movement in six degrees of freedom. The module restraint includes a first surface extending from and sloping away from the housing. The module restraint also includes a second surface extending from and sloping away from the housing. The first surface intersects the second surface and the first and second surfaces slope away from each other.
