Abstract
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.
