Patent ID: 7450400

Claim:
An electronic system comprising: an electronic module in physical communication with a printed circuit board along a connection area, the electronic module comprising a proximal portion that is proximal to the connection area and a distal portion that is distal to the connection area elevated above the printed circuit board; a frame configured to align with a heat sink on the electronic module, the frame comprising a proximal portion that is proximal to the connection area and a distal portion that is distal to the connection area; at least four first securing devices that extend through a plurality of openings of the proximal portion of the frame and a plurality of openings of the proximal portion of the electronic module to connect the proximal portion of the electronic module to the printed circuit board, wherein the first securing devices are positioned symmetrically around the connection area; at least one second securing device that extends through at least one opening of the distal portion of the frame and at least one opening of the distal portion of the electronic module to connect the distal portion of the electronic module to the printed circuit board; and wherein the at least one second securing device engages the distal portion of the electronic module relative to the printed circuit board with an application of a transverse force against a wall of the at least one opening of the distal portion of the electronic module.
