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.
