Calmark Torque-Limiting Card-Lok Retainers Prevent Board Damage

Calmark™ Series 223 and 224 five-piece Card-Lok retainers for cold plate-heat exchanger applications feature a patent pending torque-limiting design that prevents damage to the card-lok or to the board module assembly caused by over tightening.

A screw actuated wedge locks the board module assembly into place for high reliability and maximum shock and vibration resistance. The design also provides maximum contact between thermal paths on the board module assembly and the heat-sink surface for maximum thermal transfer. A standard hex wrench can be used to lock the board module assembly into the cold wall, providing a safe clamping force without the need for a torque wrench.
