Electronics packaging assembly with parallel circuit boards and a vibration stiffener
First Claim
1. An electronics packaging assembly comprising:
- an assembly housing;
a plurality of circuit boards arranged in parallel within said assembly housing, said circuit boards each having a notch on one edge;
a vibration stiffener arranged within said assembly housing along a lateral direction relative to said plurality of circuit boards, said vibration stiffener including a plurality of slots that engage with corresponding notches of said plurality of circuit boards, wherein engagement of said vibration stiffener with said plurality of circuit boards limits flexing of said circuit boards in said lateral direction, such that said vibration stiffener extends along a direction transverse to said plurality of parallel circuit boards and by engaging with said plurality of parallel circuit boards stabilizes said plurality of parallel circuit boards along an axis that is transverse to said plurality of parallel circuit boards; and
wherein said assembly housing includes a cover, a surface of which abuts said vibration stiffener, such that said cover exerts pressure on said vibration stiffener to maintain firm engagement between said vibration stiffener and said plurality of circuit boards.

Abstract
An electronics packaging assembly (100) includes: an assembly housing (120); a plurality of printed circuit boards (110; 210) arranged in parallel within the assembly housing (120); and a vibration stiffener (140; 240). The printed circuit boards (110; 210) each have a notch (112; 212) on one edge. The vibration stiffener (140; 240) is arranged within the assembly housing (120) along a lateral direction relative to the plurality of printed circuit boards (110; 210) and includes a plurality of slots (142; 242) that engage with corresponding notches (112; 212) of the plurality of printed circuit boards (110; 210), wherein engagement of the vibration stiffener (140; 240) with the plurality of printed circuit boards (110; 210) limits flexing of the printed circuit boards (110; 210) in the lateral direction. In one implementation, a portion of the assembly housing (120) contacts and applies pressure to the vibration stiffener (140; 240) to keep the vibration stiffener (140; 240) in place.
