A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11930613B2) discloses an electronic assembly designed to enhance cooling efficiency and secure electronic modules within a chassis. The assembly includes a chassis with multiple electronic module mounting positions, each equipped with cooling gas passageways. Electronic modules, featuring glide surfaces and cooling gas pathways, are securely positioned in the chassis using sealing retainers. These retainers, with cooling gas passageways aligned with the chassis and module pathways, prevent direct contact between the modules and sealing gaskets. The design ensures proper spacing through cooperating features on the glide surfaces, maintaining the modules securely in place while facilitating easy insertion and removal.

Furthermore, the patent details a method for mounting electronic modules within the chassis, emphasizing the use of sealing retainers with aligned cooling gas passageways and glide surfaces. By incorporating protrusions and valleys on the glide surfaces, the method ensures precise alignment and spacing between the modules and sealing gaskets during insertion and seating. The tapered distal end of the module glide surface further enhances the secure positioning of the electronic modules within the chassis. Overall, the innovative design of the electronic assembly aims to optimize cooling efficiency, facilitate easy installation, and ensure the stable placement of electronic modules within the chassis for improved performance and reliability.
