  • Patent number: 6190204
    Abstract: An improved structure of a interface card panel of a compact PCI system is disclosed. Wherein the panel of an interface card is assembled by welding an inner layered plate and an outer layered plate. The thickness of each layered plate is only half of the standard plate. The through holes of the inner layered plate have a radius only sufficient for receiving the screw rods of the fixing studs on the two ends of a D type connector, while the through holes for the outer layered plate have a radius sufficient for receiving the whole fixing studs, so that the fixing studs will completely pass through the outer layered plate, while the bodies thereof press the rim of the holes of the inner layered plate. Thus, other than the fixing points on the buckling bodies on the two ends thereof. By the fixing studs of the D type connector, a large fixing force is formed on the middle of the panel, and meanwhile, the strength of the panel is improved.
