Abstract:
1. An assembly comprising: at least one printed circuit board assembly comprising a printed circuit board and at least one solid state memory component disposed thereon; a housing comprising a first cover and a second cover, the housing substantially enclosing the printed circuit board assembly with a space between the printed circuit board assembly and the covers; a first compressible thermal interface positioned between the first cover and the printed circuit board assembly and configured to conduct heat away from the printed circuit board assembly; and a second compressible thermal interface positioned between the second cover and the printed circuit board assembly and configured to conduct heat away from the printed circuit board assembly, the first thermal interface and the second thermal interface comprising a shock absorbing material, wherein, when installed, the thermal interfaces are compressed and fill the space between the printed circuit board assembly and the covers and provide shock absorption sufficient to withstand an impact of greater than about 1500 G applied to the assembly without detachment of the at least one solid state memory component from the printed circuit board.
