scope:

This CID covers the general requirements for a family of 3 piece card holders that use screw actuated wedge retainers to hold circuit card assemblies into their installed positions in heat sinking devices (cold plates, heat exchanger) or other applications. Card holders covered by this CID are intended to provide maximum contact between thermal paths on the circuit card assemblies and the heat sink surfaces and to provide resistance to shock and vibration. Requirements for specific card holders are covered in the individual CID specification sheet. Items covered by this CID are intended for commercial/industrial applications.
