Patent attributes
A data storage device includes an enclosure and a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) extending in a basal plane, and a plurality of semiconductor memory packages electromechanically bonded to the PCBA and coupled to the enclosure with thermal interface material. The data storage device further includes a first fitting coupled to a first end of the PCBA and the enclosure, restricting movement of the PCBA in the basal plane with respect to the enclosure and restricting movement of the PCBA out of the basal plane. The data storage device further includes a second fitting coupled to a second end of the PCBA, allowing movement of the PCBA in the basal plane with respect to the enclosure and restricting movement of the PCBA out of the basal plane.
