More specifically, the upper part of the transformer module 3 is provided with a circuit board module 5, the circuit board module 5 includes a mounting seat 51 and a circuit board 52 mounted in the mounting seat 51, the mounting seat 51 closes the communication port 140, the circuit board 52 is provided with an upward plug-in piece one 53 at the communication port 140, the bottom of the functional module 4 has a plug-in piece two suitable for plug-in matching with the plug-in piece one 53, the plug-in piece one 53 and the plug-in piece two are plugged in to realize electrical connection, and the plug-in piece one 53 and the plug-in piece two are separated to cut off the electrical connection; such arrangement can realize the plug-in of the functional module 4 into the module insertion cavity 14 and the disassembly from the module insertion cavity 14, convenient disassembly, and the communication port 140 is closed by the mounting seat 51, so that high-temperature gas cannot enter the module insertion cavity 14 from the communication port 140, thereby ensuring that the functional module 4 is not affected by the impact of high-temperature gas, and ensuring the use performance of the modular molded case circuit breaker.
[0026] As shown in Figure 6 , the mounting seat 51 has an upward opening mounting groove 511, the circuit board 52 is mounted in the mounting groove 511, and a limit plate 54 is pressed on the upper side of the circuit board 52, the limit plate 54 is fixedly connected with the mounting seat 51, so that the limit plate 54 can more stably press and limit the circuit board 52, and can enhance the pressure resistance of the circuit board module 5 and reduce the impact damage of high-temperature gas flow to the circuit board module 5; the limit plate 54 is provided with an avoidance port 541 for the plug-in piece one 53 to pass through.
