CALMARK™ CARD-LOK™ Retainers

Overview

Schroff® CALMARK™ Series 223 and 224 CARD-LOK™ Retainers secure board module assemblies to the cold wall in cold plate/heat exchanger applications-with no torque wrench required. CARD-LOK Retainers employ a screw-actuated wedge action that locks the board module assembly in place with the use of a standard hex wrench.
