Installation detection device

Abstract

This application discloses a mounting detection device suitable for a circuit board defining a mounting area. The mounting area has multiple screw holes. The mounting detection device includes a detection component and a connection interface. The detection component includes a backplate and a flexible circuit board. The backplate is adapted to be disposed on the back side of the mounting area on the circuit board. The flexible circuit board is adapted to be disposed between the circuit board and the backplate. The flexible circuit board includes multiple pressure sensors. The positions of the pressure sensors correspond to the positions of the screw holes. The connection interface has a first connector and a second connector.
