  • Automatic circuit board plug-in system
    Patent number: 6577507
    Abstract: A circuit board plug-in system includes a frame, a mother board mounted on the frame and including a mother board connector, and a circuit board including a circuit board connector capable of mating with the mother board connector. Guide rails are mounted on the frame, and each is formed with a channel for the insertion of the circuit board. An actuator moves, under the control of a plug-in controller, the circuit board inserted into the guide rails to thereby selectively connect or disconnect the circuit board connector to or from the mother board connector. The actuator is arranged partly on the circuit board and partly on the guide rails. The plug-in controller is mounted on the frame.
