Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to an IO module with gold fingers. Background Technology

[0002] The I / O modules on the circuit board are key interfaces used to connect the circuit board to external devices. They are responsible for receiving external input signals and converting them into data that the circuit board or system can read, while converting the output signals generated by the system into the form required by the external devices.

[0003] Currently, most I / O modules on the market are connected to circuit boards by wires to achieve electrical connection and data transmission. Although this method is flexible, the connection is prone to loosening and falling off, resulting in poor connection reliability. During installation, several wires need to be installed between the two, and both ends need to be fixed, which makes the installation inefficient and not conducive to subsequent maintenance, increasing maintenance time and costs, and thus increasing the production costs of enterprises.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the housing is provided with a fixing hole for fixed installation, and the circuit board is provided with threaded holes corresponding to the positions of the fixing holes on the housing. The threaded holes are distributed on both sides of the slot, and the housing is screwed into the threaded holes through the fixing holes by screws, so that the two are installed firmly together.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the housing is provided with an outwardly protruding step, and the fixing hole is located at the center of the protruding step.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the number of slots is set to a plurality of slots, which are spaced apart on the circuit board for I / O modules to be inserted at the top.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the device also includes a junction box, which has gold fingers for insertion into slots. The junction box operates by making an electrical connection with the slots on the circuit board through the gold fingers.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the circuit board is further provided with a protective shell, which has clearance grooves corresponding to the positions of the slots and threaded holes, and the protective shell is placed on the circuit board.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the protective shell is printed with indicator numbers for distinguishing installation information.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution:
