Abstract

A printed circuit card assembly for preventing flame spread in an equipment assembly includes a printed circuit board having first and second sides, at least one of the first and second sides of the printed circuit board adapted for mounting a plurality of electronic components thereon; and a heat absorbing flame resistant shield facing one side of the printed circuit board for absorbing heat energy from an adjacent printed circuit card assembly thereby reducing heat transfer to the printed circuit board.
