ABSTRACT:
A Solid State Drive (SSD) device includes a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) defining rivet holes, and a support structure including parallel side frame rails defining rivet openings and support platforms for receiving and supporting the PCBA. Compression-mated rivet sets are used to connect the PCBA to the support structure, each rivet set including a female rivet portion and an associated male rivet portion. The PCBA is mounted onto the support structure such that the rivet holes are aligned with the rivet openings of the plurality of rivet openings, and then the rivet sets are mounted and secured using an automatic rivet tool such that each rivet set extends through an associated rivet hole/opening and fixedly engaged such that the PCBA and the support structure are held between end caps of the respective male and female rivet portions.
