[0002] Printed circuit boards (PCBs) provide electrical connections for electronic components. As electronic products move toward miniaturization and digitalization, PCBs are also developing toward higher density and higher precision. Existing PCBs are mostly integrated structures, where multiple components are directly soldered onto a single board according to design drawings. This makes them difficult to upgrade and has a limited adaptability. Furthermore, if a component on the board is damaged, the entire PCB becomes unusable, resulting in significant waste.

The first connecting mechanism and the second connecting mechanism are respectively detachably connected to the intermediate connecting portion. The first connecting mechanism is also provided with a plurality of pins that can be electrically connected to the metal contacts. The pin port line cooperates with the pins to form an electrical connection between the mainboards.

[0007] Preferably, the intermediate connecting portion comprises an intermediate fixing plate with a square cross section, and a connecting plate with a through hole and a lower clamping plate overlapped with the bottom surface of the main board are provided on the side wall of the intermediate fixing plate.

[0008] Preferably, an elastic metal piece in contact with the metal contact is provided at the bottom end of the pin, the elastic metal piece is arranged in a W shape, and the metal contact is arranged in a V-shaped groove below the elastic metal piece.
