Fig. 5 is a rear perspective view of the first housing of the server. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a server to which the connection media device is applied. In the present application, a connection media device 1 and a server 100 to which the connection media device 1 is applied will be provided.

Here, the number of pins (pins) in the first and second electrical connectors 20 and 30 may be 100 to 300, for example, 220pins, so that the bus electrical connection function can be achieved.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the circuit board 10 includes a first circuit board 11 and a second circuit board 13. The connection medium device 1 further includes a first signal serial connector 25 and a second signal serial connector 35, wherein the first electrical connector 20 and the first signal serial connector 25 are respectively disposed at different positions of the first circuit board 11 and electrically connected to each other through the first circuit board 11. The second electrical connector 30 and the second signal serial connector 35 are disposed at different positions on the second circuit board 13 and electrically connected to each other through the second circuit board 13. The first signal serial connector 25 is plugged with the second signal serial connector 35, so that the first circuit board 11 is electrically connected with the second circuit board 13. In this embodiment, the combination of the first circuit board 11 and the second circuit board 13 is connected in series by the first signal serial connector 25 and the second signal serial connector 35 as the circuit board 10, which is only an example and not a limitation. For example, when the server 100 is designed to have a small internal space, it is also possible to use only a single circuit board. Alternatively, in the case where the internal space of the server 100 is irregular, a plurality of circuit boards and electrical connectors may be used in combination.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in this embodiment, the first circuit board 11 and the second circuit board 13 are orthogonally disposed and are assembled by the first signal serial connector 25 and the second signal serial connector 35.
