A circuit board is adapted for inserting an expansion card with an electrical contact part, a non-electrical convex part, and a positioning part. The circuit board includes a board body, a slot, a release structure, and a transmission mechanism. The slot is disposed on the board body and includes a socket, a connecting end, and an outer surface. The socket is adapted for the electrical contact part to be inserted. The release structure is movably disposed at the connecting end and includes a limiting part. The transmission mechanism is disposed in the socket, adjacent to the connecting end, or adjacent to the outer surface. The transmission mechanism includes a driving member and a linking member. The driving member is adapted for contacting the electrical contact part, the non-electrical convex part, or the positioning part. The linking member is disposed between the driving member and the release structure.

Circuit board

A circuit board device is adapted for inserting an expansion card with an electrical end and a locking part. The circuit board device includes a circuit board body, a slot, and a linkage structure located beside the slot. The linkage structure includes a connecting rod with a first end, a second, and an axis, a pressing part, and a fixing part. The pressing part is connected to the first end and deviates from the axis. The fixing part is located at the second end and has a hook, an elastic arm close to the slot and the hook, and a fixing member. The hook deviates from the axis and has a first slope facing away from the circuit board body. The fixing member extends from the spring arm towards the slot and includes a second slope facing away from the circuit board body and a third slope facing the hook.

Circuit board device for inserting an expansion card

A fixing assembly is suitable for being arranged on a circuit board and configured to fix an expansion card. The fixing assembly includes a body and a buckle structure. The buckle structure includes a pressing part, a buckle part, an elastic member, and a base. The pressing part is away from the circuit board. An end of the buckle part is connected to the pressing part and has an inclined surface and a blocking surface connected to each other. The blocking surface has a gap with the top surface. The elastic member is connected to another end of the buckle part. When a first end of the expansion card is connected to the connector, a second end of the expansion card slides along the inclined surface to the top surface and is fixed in the gap by being abutted by the blocking surface.

Fixing assembly and electronic device having the same

The disclosure provides a portable electronic device, including a main body, a side cover, a decorative plate, and an elastic element. The side cover is pivotally disposed on a side edge of the main body. The side cover is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the main body. The side cover abuts against the main body when in the first position. The side cover forms an angle with the main body when in the second position. The decorative plate includes a first edge, a second edge, and a third edge. The first edge is pivotally disposed on the side cover. The second edge abuts against the main body when the side cover is in the first position. The second edge is separate from the main body and the third edge abuts against the main body when the side cover is in the second position. The elastic element is disposed at the second edge. The elastic element supports the decorative plate when the side cover is in the second position.
