[0048] In the field of high-performance computing, memory modules are usually vertically inserted into the baseboard. This arrangement makes full use of the limited motherboard space and enables quick installation and replacement of memory through standard slot interfaces, while maintaining good electrical performance and modular design, allowing the system to be easily configured with memory modules of different capacities and types according to needs.

[0049] However, with the increasing complexity of computing tasks and the demand for higher-density computing nodes in data centers, the traditional design of vertically arranged memory modules cannot meet the requirements of small spaces.

[0050] Therefore, the main objective of this application is to provide a circuit board assembly and electronic device to address the aforementioned problems.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] This application provides a circuit board assembly, including a first circuit board 1, on which a connector 3 is disposed;

[0053] The memory module 2 includes a second circuit board 21 and at least one memory chip 23 disposed on the surface of the second circuit board 21.

[0054] The second circuit board 21 is detachably disposed on the side of the connector 3 away from the first circuit board 1, and the second circuit board 21 is disposed parallel to the first circuit board 1.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, the circuit board assembly provided in this application embodiment includes a first circuit board 1, a connector 3, and a memory module 2. The connector 3 and the memory module 2 are both disposed on the first circuit board 1 and located on both sides of the first circuit board 1. The connector 3 has a first side and a second side. A plurality of second positioning parts 6 are disposed on the first side of the connector 3. A plurality of first positioning parts are disposed on the first circuit board 1. The plurality of first positioning parts and the plurality of second positioning parts 6 are disposed in a one-to-one correspondence. During installation, the connector 3 needs to be positioned by the first positioning parts and the second positioning parts 6. After positioning, an external force is applied to the connector 3 to make the connector 3 move towards the first circuit board 1, thereby completing the electrical connection between the connector 3 and the first circuit board 1. By setting the first positioning parts and the second positioning parts 6, the accurate installation of the connector 3 and the first circuit board 1 can be achieved, avoiding the problems of pin damage of the connector 3 and the accuracy of electrical connection caused by direct installation without positioning in the prior art.

[0056] The memory module 2 includes a second circuit board 21 and at least one memory chip 23. The second circuit board 21 is detachably disposed on the side of the connector 3 away from the first circuit board 1. At least one memory chip 23 is arranged on at least one side of the second circuit board 21 along a preset direction.

[0057] Optionally, the number of memory chips 23 may be multiple.

[0058] Optionally, when the second circuit board 21 is laid horizontally, the preset direction is the laying direction of the second circuit board 21, and multiple memory chips 23 are laid flat on at least one side of the second circuit board 21.

[0059] Optionally, the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 21 are arranged in parallel.

[0060] The circuit board assembly provided in this application represents a significant technological advancement overcoming the limitations of traditional memory layout methods in terms of space utilization, system integration, maintenance convenience, and scalability. Through the introduction of a positioning part and the positioning and engagement mechanism between the connector 3 and the first circuit board 1, not only is accurate installation of the connector 3 ensured, avoiding pin damage and electrical connection instability issues that may result from direct installation, but the integration process between the memory module 2 and the circuit board assembly is also optimized. This greatly reduces the complexity of motherboard design, minimizes signal interference and attenuation, and improves memory performance and data transfer rates. The design of the memory module, particularly the multiple memory chips 23 arranged flat on the second circuit board 21, significantly reduces the height occupied by the memory module 2, greatly improving the utilization of internal server space, creating conditions for the realization of high-density computing nodes, and meeting the demand for higher performance.

[0061] More importantly, the combination of the detachable second circuit board 21 and the connector 3 significantly simplifies the maintenance and replacement steps of the memory module 2, providing sufficient operating space even in high-density server environments, reducing maintenance costs and server downtime, and enhancing the operational efficiency of the data center.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first positioning part is at least one of a positioning protrusion, a positioning groove, or a positioning hole provided on the first circuit board 1; and / or, the second positioning part 6 is at least one of a positioning groove or a positioning protrusion provided on the connector 3.

[0063] Optionally, when the first positioning part is a positioning protrusion provided on the first circuit board 1, the second positioning part 6 is a positioning groove provided on the connector 3. The positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are used in a positioning cooperation to complete the pre-positioning and post-positioning installation of the connector 3.

[0064] Optionally, when the first positioning part is a positioning hole provided on the first circuit board 1, the second positioning part 6 is a positioning protrusion provided on the connector 3. In this case, the positioning protrusion is a positioning post, which can be used in a positioning engagement with the positioning hole to complete the pre-positioning and post-positioning installation of the connector 3.

[0065] Optionally, when the first positioning part is a positioning groove provided on the first circuit board 1, the second positioning part 6 is a positioning protrusion provided on the connector 3. In this case, the shape of the positioning protrusion matches the shape of the positioning groove, and the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove can be used in a positioning cooperation to complete the pre-positioning and post-positioning installation of the connector 3.

[0066] This embodiment of the application provides positioning protrusions, grooves, or holes on the first circuit board 1, and corresponding grooves, protrusions, or cylindrical positioning components on the connector 3. This ensures that the connector 3 is accurately pre-positioned before installation, guaranteeing a stable connection between its pins and the circuit board, and significantly reducing signal connection problems and memory failure rates caused by improper installation. Specifically, the combined use of positioning protrusions and grooves, or the matching of positioning holes and positioning posts, provides intuitive guidance for the installation of the connector 3, simplifying the operation process.

[0067] More importantly, this layout optimizes the spatial relationship between memory module 2 and the circuit board assembly, achieving a planar layout of memory chips 23. This significantly reduces the space occupied by memory module 2 in the height direction, promoting high-density integration of internal server resources. The planar design not only helps improve server computing performance but also enhances heat dissipation and extends the lifespan of memory module 2. Simultaneously, the removable memory module 2 design reduces the complexity of maintenance and replacement, minimizing server downtime.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of third positioning parts 7 are provided on the second side of the connector 3, and a plurality of fourth positioning parts 8 are provided on the second circuit board 21. The plurality of third positioning parts 7 and the plurality of fourth positioning parts 8 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the second circuit board 21 is positioned when each third positioning part 7 and each fourth positioning part 8 are positioned and engaged, so that the pin of the connector 3 is connected to the second circuit board 21. In the first direction, the height of the third positioning part 7 is greater than the height of the pin.

[0069] This embodiment of the application provides multiple third positioning parts 7 on the second side of the connector 3 and multiple fourth positioning parts 8 on the second circuit board 21. The multiple third positioning parts 7 and multiple fourth positioning parts 8 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. During installation, the connector 3 and the second circuit board 21 need to be positioned by the third positioning parts 7 and the fourth positioning parts 8. After positioning, an external force is applied to the second circuit board 21 to move the second circuit board 21 toward the connector 3, thereby completing the electrical connection between the second circuit board 21 and the connector 3. By providing the third positioning parts 7 and the fourth positioning parts 8, accurate installation of the second circuit board 21 and the connector 3 can be achieved, avoiding the problems of connector 3 pin damage and electrical connection accuracy caused by direct installation without positioning in the prior art.

[0070] This embodiment of the application achieves guidance and positioning during the installation process between the memory module 2 and the connector 3 by adding multiple third positioning parts 7 to the second side of the connector 3 and providing corresponding multiple fourth positioning parts 8 on the second circuit board 21. This arrangement ensures the smooth movement of the second circuit board 21 under positioning cooperation, enabling it to be accurately aligned and connected to the connector 3, avoiding pin damage and unstable electrical connections caused by positional misalignment. In particular, the height of the third positioning parts 7 is designed to exceed the pin height, providing stable support and guidance for the second circuit board 21, further improving installation accuracy and process reliability.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fourth positioning part 8 is at least one of a positioning protrusion, a positioning groove, or a positioning hole provided on the second circuit board 21.

[0072] Furthermore, the third positioning part 7 is at least one of a positioning groove or a positioning protrusion provided on the connector 3.

[0073] Optionally, when the fourth positioning part 8 is a positioning protrusion provided on the second circuit board 21, the third positioning part 7 is a positioning groove provided on the connector 3. The positioning protrusion and the positioning groove are used in a positioning cooperation to complete the pre-positioning of the connector 3 and the second circuit board 21 and the installation after positioning.

[0074] Optionally, when the fourth positioning part 8 is a positioning groove provided on the second circuit board 21, the third positioning part 7 is a positioning protrusion provided on the connector 3. In this case, the shape of the positioning protrusion matches the shape of the positioning groove, and the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove can be used in a positioning cooperation to complete the pre-positioning and post-positioning installation of the connector 3 and the second circuit board 21.

[0075] By setting a first positioning part on the first circuit board 1, configuring a second positioning part 6 on the connector 3, and adding a third positioning part 7 and a fourth positioning part 8 on the second side of the second circuit board 21 and the connector 3 respectively, a multi-level, high-precision positioning system is established, ensuring accurate alignment and stable installation between the connector 3 and the first circuit board 1 and the second circuit board 21.

[0076] Specifically, the precise fit between the positioning protrusions and grooves provides intuitive and reliable installation guidance for connector 3 and the second circuit board 21, effectively preventing pin damage during installation, improving the accuracy and stability of electrical connections, reducing signal interference, and ensuring data transmission rate and memory access efficiency. The use of positioning holes and posts further simplifies the installation process, reduces operational difficulty, and ensures that the second circuit board 21 can be stably aligned with connector 3 during installation. This enhances the removability and maintainability of the memory module 2, reduces server maintenance costs, and shortens downtime.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, the second circuit board 21 is further provided with a plurality of first connection positions 9, and the connector 3 is provided with a plurality of second connection positions 10. The plurality of first connection positions 9 and the plurality of second connection positions 10 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. The memory module 2 also includes a plurality of first connectors 11 that can be inserted into the first connection positions 9, so as to connect the second circuit board 21 and the connector 3 through the first connectors 11.

[0078] Optionally, multiple first connection positions 9 are bolt holes provided on the second circuit board 21, second connection positions 10 are bolt holes provided on the connector 3, and first connector 11 is a connecting bolt used to engage with the threads of the two bolt holes, so as to connect the second circuit board 21 and the connector 3 through the connecting bolt.

[0079] The circuit board assembly in this embodiment of the application provides a plurality of first connection positions 9 on the second circuit board 21 and a plurality of second connection positions 10 on the connector 3, employing a one-to-one correspondence connection method. A first connector 11 is introduced as a pluggable connection medium, achieving a stable and efficient electrical connection between the second circuit board 21 and the connector 3. This design uses bolt holes as connection positions and connecting bolts as the first connector 11, ensuring not only the mechanical strength of the connection but also providing electrical stability. This effectively avoids contact problems that may arise from traditional plug-in connections, as well as wear or damage to connectors caused by frequent maintenance operations in high-density server environments.

[0080] Furthermore, the circuit board assembly also includes a support component 5, on which the memory module 2 is detachably mounted.

[0081] Furthermore, the carrier component 5 is provided with a plurality of third connection positions, which are provided one-to-one with a plurality of second connection positions 10, so as to connect the second circuit board 21, the connector 3 and the carrier component 5 through the first connector 11.

[0082] Optionally, in this embodiment, the supporting component 5 is a tray structure used to support the memory module 2 and the connector 3. The memory module 2 is detachably mounted on the supporting component 5. The supporting component 5 is provided with a plurality of third connection positions, which correspond one-to-one with a plurality of second connection positions 10 provided on the connector 3. The plurality of third connection positions on the supporting component 5 are bolt holes. The first connector 11 can pass through the first connection position 9, the second connection position 10 and the third connection position at the same time to connect the first connector 11, the second circuit board 21, the connector 3 and the supporting component 5 together.

[0083] The circuit board assembly in this embodiment introduces a support component 5, which serves as a tray structure. This not only provides a stable support platform for the memory module 2 and the connector 3, but also optimizes the connection method between them and the first circuit board 1. Multiple third connection positions on the support component 5 correspond one-to-one with the second connection positions 10 of the connector 3. Through the first connector 11, i.e., the connecting bolt, an integrated connection between the second circuit board 21, the connector 3, and the support component 5 is achieved, ensuring a stable connection between the memory module 2 and the circuit board assembly, while maintaining the independent detachability of each component.

[0084] This integrated connection design not only simplifies the installation and removal process of memory module 2 and reduces operational difficulty, but also ensures the stability and reliability of electrical connections, effectively avoiding signal interference and connection failures that may occur with traditional plug-and-play connections. The use of the support component 5 provides additional mechanical support for memory module 2, especially in high-density server environments, helping to distribute the load on the second circuit board 21, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by gravity, and improving the thermal stability and lifespan of memory module 2.

[0085] Furthermore, the circuit board assembly also includes a cold plate 4, which is disposed on the side of the memory chip 23 away from the first circuit board 1 and in contact with the memory chip 23, so as to dissipate heat from the memory module 2 through the cold plate 4.

[0086] Furthermore, the circuit board assembly also includes a heat-conducting element disposed between the cold plate 4 and the memory chip 23 to transfer the heat generated by the memory module 2 to the cold plate 4.

[0087] Furthermore, the heat-conducting element includes at least one of a heat-conducting layer and a heat-conducting pad disposed on the memory chip 23. The heat-conducting layer and the heat-conducting pad are used to contact the cold plate 4 so as to transfer the heat generated by the memory chip 23 to the cold plate 4 through the heat-conducting layer and the heat-conducting pad.

[0088] Furthermore, when the thermally conductive element includes a thermally conductive layer and a thermally conductive pad, the thermally conductive layer is disposed between the thermally conductive pad and the memory chip 23.

[0089] Furthermore, the thermally conductive layer is formed by coating the memory particles 23 with thermally conductive silicone.

[0090] Optionally, in this embodiment, the cold plate 4 is a liquid cooling plate, and a heat-conducting element is provided between the memory chip 23 and the cold plate 4 to transfer the heat generated by the memory module 2 to the cold plate 4 through the heat-conducting element.

[0091] Optionally, the thermally conductive element is at least one of a thermally conductive layer and a thermally conductive pad.

[0092] Optionally, when the thermally conductive element is a thermally conductive layer, the thermally conductive layer is formed by coating the memory particles 23 with thermally conductive silicone.

[0096] The circuit board assembly of this embodiment introduces a cold plate 4 and a heat-conducting element. The cold plate 4 directly contacts the side of the memory chip 23 away from the first circuit board 1. Combined with the heat-conducting layer and heat-conducting pad disposed on the memory chip 23, an efficient heat conduction path is constructed, significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the memory module 2. Specifically, the heat-conducting layer is formed by thermally conductive silicone coated on the memory chip 23, ensuring good thermal contact between the memory chip 23 and the cold plate 4. The heat-conducting pad is attached to the memory chip 23, further enhancing the heat transfer effect. Under the dual action of the heat-conducting layer and the heat-conducting pad, the heat generated by the memory module 2 can be quickly and evenly transferred to the cold plate 4, and the heat is efficiently removed by the liquid cooling system, effectively reducing the operating temperature of the memory chip 23 and improving system stability and memory performance.

[0140] The circuit board assembly of this application embodiment achieves a perfect balance between efficient utilization of server internal space and high-performance computing through a refined memory chip 23 layout strategy, a double-sided arrangement scheme, and a heat dissipation component design. Specifically, multiple memory chips 23 are divided into a first group and a second group, and arranged along a preset horizontal direction on the first and second sides of the second circuit board 21, respectively. This design maximizes the utilization of the three-dimensional space inside the server, significantly improving memory capacity and system density. At the same time, by centrally setting the serial presence detection component 16 and the register clock driver 17 on the first circuit board 1, the layout of the first circuit board 1 is further optimized, reducing signal transmission paths, significantly reducing signal latency and attenuation, and improving data access efficiency and overall system performance.

[0141] In terms of heat dissipation design, this embodiment employs a flexible combination of a thermally conductive layer and a thermally conductive pad, directly coated or adhered to the memory chip 23, establishing an efficient and stable heat conduction path to ensure effective heat dissipation of the memory module 2. In particular, when there are multiple memory modules 2, the introduction of the thermally conductive body 22 not only transfers heat from the inner memory module 2 to the cold plate 4, but also simultaneously dissipates heat from the outer memory module 2, achieving efficient synergy of the dual-sided heat dissipation structure, reducing the space occupied by the heat dissipation components, and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0142] Example 4

[0143] Furthermore, the second circuit board 21 has a first side and a second side. All memory chips 23 are arranged on the first side along a preset direction. The memory module 2 also includes a serial presence detection component 16, a register clock driver 17 and a pad 24. The serial presence detection component 16 and the register clock driver 17 are disposed on the first circuit board 1, and the pad 24 is disposed on the second side.

[0144] Furthermore, there are multiple memory modules 2 arranged along the second direction, and multiple connectors 3 arranged along the second direction.

[0146] Furthermore, the width of connector 3 is 10mm; and / or, the height of connector 3 is 2.85mm.

[0147] Furthermore, the combined height of the memory module 2 and the first circuit board 1 is 18.05mm.

[0148] like Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, this embodiment of the application achieves a highly efficient combination of modularity and system integration of the memory module 2 by uniformly arranging the memory chips 23 of the second circuit board 21 on the first surface, combined with the serial presence detection component 16 and register clock driver 17 integrated on the first circuit board 1, and the pads 24 on the second surface of the second circuit board 21. This design not only ensures the integrity of memory functions and the stability of signal transmission, but also frees up space on the second circuit board 21 by moving the serial presence detection component 16 and register clock driver 17 to the first circuit board 1, facilitating optimized layout and heat dissipation.

[0149] When there are multiple memory modules 2, their arrangement along the second direction corresponds one-to-one with the multiple connectors 3 arranged along the first direction, achieving vertical stacking of the memory modules 2 and greatly improving the utilization efficiency of the server's internal space. This stacking design, combined with the customized connectors 3, which are 90mm long, 10mm wide, and 2.85mm high, not only ensures the reliability of electrical connections and the consistency of signal transmission, but also further optimizes the heat dissipation scheme by reducing height differences, avoiding airflow turbulence and low heat dissipation efficiency caused by the different component heights in traditional heat dissipation designs.

[0150] The circuit board assembly of this application embodiment optimizes the sum of the heights of the memory module 2 and the first circuit board 1 to 18.05mm, which not only significantly reduces the overall volume of the memory module 2 and improves the convenience of installation, but also provides a more efficient space management solution for high-density server architecture through modular design and stacked layout.

[0152] like Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the second circuit board 21 further includes multiple sub-circuit boards 211, each sub-circuit board 211 having a first side and a second side. Multiple memory chips 23 are horizontally arranged on the first side. The memory module 2 also includes a serial presence detection component 16, a register clock driver 17, and pads. The serial presence detection component 16 and the register clock driver 17 are disposed on the first circuit board 1, and the pads 24 are disposed on the second side.

The plurality of sixth connection positions 12 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of seventh connection positions. The memory module 2 also includes a plurality of third connectors, which are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of sixth connection positions 12. Each third connector can be interleaved and arranged in its corresponding sixth connection position 12 to connect the sub-circuit board 211 and the first circuit board 1 through the third connector.

[0154] Furthermore, the length of circuit board 1 is 90mm.

[0155] Furthermore, the width of the first circuit board 1 is 10mm.

[0156] Furthermore, the length of connector 3 is greater than 90mm.

[0157] Furthermore, the width of connector 3 is less than 10mm.

[0158] Optionally, the sixth connection position 12 is a bolt hole, the seventh connection position is a bolt hole, and multiple sixth connection positions 12 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple seventh connection positions.

[0159] Optionally, the third connector is a connecting bolt.

[0160] Optionally, in this embodiment, the height of the circuit board assembly is 18.05 mm.

[0161] In this embodiment, as Figures 11 to 16 As shown, the circuit board assembly of this embodiment significantly optimizes the spatial layout and electrical connection of the memory module 2 by employing a design of multiple sub-circuit boards 211, achieving high-density integration and efficient heat dissipation of the server's internal architecture. Specifically, the second circuit board 21 is decomposed into multiple sub-circuit boards 211 arranged along a second direction. Each sub-circuit board 211 has multiple memory chips 23 arranged horizontally along a first direction. This design not only makes full use of the depth space inside the server, but also avoids the duplication of electrical components by centrally setting the serial in-place detection component 16 and the register clock driver 17 on the first circuit board 1, greatly reducing signal traces, optimizing signal transmission paths, significantly reducing signal delay and loss, and improving data access speed and overall system performance.

[0162] In terms of electrical connection, a long strip connector 3 is used, with a length greater than 90mm, a width less than 10mm, and a height of 2.85mm. This not only ensures a stable connection between multiple sub-circuit boards 211 and the first circuit board 1, but also achieves flexible connection and stable fixation between the sub-circuit boards 211 and the first circuit board 1 by setting multiple sixth connection positions 12 on each sub-circuit board 211, corresponding one-to-one with the seventh connection positions on the first circuit board 1, and using the third connector, i.e., the connecting bolt. This design not only improves the reliability of electrical connection, but also simplifies the installation and maintenance process, reduces the difficulty of operation, and improves production efficiency and system stability.

[0163] More importantly, this embodiment optimizes the combined height of the memory module 2 and the first circuit board 1 to 18.05mm through a carefully designed heat dissipation strategy. This not only significantly reduces the overall height of the circuit board assembly but also ensures effective heat transfer of the memory chips 23 through a planar heat dissipation design, improving heat dissipation efficiency, reducing memory operating temperature, and enhancing system thermal stability and the lifespan of the memory chips 23. This highly integrated and space-optimized design is not only suitable for a single memory module 2 but is also key to the stacking and installation of multiple memory modules 2. It not only improves the internal heat dissipation layout of the server but also provides a superior thermal management solution for high-density, high-performance computing environments, reducing system energy consumption and improving the operational efficiency and computing density of data centers.
