Apacer Introduces Rugged Retention Straps to Keep Industrial DRAM Modules in Place

As industrial environments become increasingly demanding, the necessity of securing DRAM modules vs. shock and vibration grows critical, especially in Edge AI applications where reliability is paramount. Apacer Technology Inc. announces the launch of its innovative rugged retention straps, designed to effectively protect DRAM modules in challenging operational conditions. 

DRAM modules face significant challenges in maintaining stability, particularly in environments prone to unavoidable shock and vibration such as during transportation or within vibration-sensitive applications. Over time, these factors can dislodge modules from their DIMM slots, leading to operational failures. Acknowledging this issue, Apacer’s engineering team has developed a robust solution in the form of a rugged retention strap, comparable to a seatbelt, ensuring UDIMM, RDIMM, and ECC UDIMM modules remain securely in place. 

Apacer’s rugged retention strap features 3 connection points for enhanced stability, distinguishing it from conventional dual-connection-point clips. Compatible with all modern motherboards, this solution ensures universal applicability across diverse industrial setups. 

Constructed from flame-retardant-grade polysiloxane, the strap withstands temperatures up to 200°C, providing superior resilience without the risk of short circuits. Its elasticity and flexibility endure even at low temperatures, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions. 

Furthermore, Apacer’s retention strap has undergone testing to meet military-standard MIL-STD-833K and MIL-STD-810G specs for shock and vibration resistance. This validation underscores its reliability in high-speed Edge AI operations, positioning it for automated industrial production facilities, smart cities, and autonomous transportation systems where stability is paramount.
