Patent ID: 8053683

Claim:
An equipment container electronics box retention and bonding system comprising: a mounting tray comprising at least one electrically conductive pad and at least one fastening mechanism; at least one contact surface located on an exterior surface of the equipment container, said contact surface being formed of an electrically conductive material and having an alignment hole in a central portion thereof; a dagger pin block assembly comprising a mounting dagger pin and an electrically conductive bonding member retained on a surface of the dagger pin block assembly through which the mounting dagger pin extends, the dagger pin block assembly being secured to the mounting tray and in contact with the at least one electrically conductive pad; the at least one fastening mechanism positioned to engage the equipment container on the side directly opposite to the mounting dagger pin for securing the equipment container in the mounting tray with the mounting dagger pin engaging in the alignment hole in the at least one contact surface; wherein the bonding member is formed of a compressive electrically conductive material, and the bonding member is compressed between the at least one contact surface on the equipment container and the dagger pin block assembly when the at least one fastening mechanism secures the equipment container in the mounting tray to form an EMI/EMC bonding connection between the mounting tray and the equipment container having an electrical resistance of less than 2.5 milli-ohms under vibration conditions encountered during use of the system.
