Each IT device is composed of various hardware boards, such as a computing module, a storage module, a chassis, a fan module, and so on. The signal interconnection is generally performed between a plurality of boards in the server through cables or connectors, and for the signal interconnection between a main board of the server and boards such as a graphics card, a hard disk backboard, a fan backboard, a power backboard and the like, the signal interconnection is generally required to be formed into plug-in fit through signal connectors such as PCIE interfaces and the like.
At present, a traditional PCIE interface generally uses golden fingers as connection pins to carry out signal connection, and when a board card is inserted into a connector, each golden finger at the bottom end of the board card is respectively contacted with a metal spring sheet in the connector, so that pin butt joint and signal interconnection are realized. However, the contact portion between the finger pad and the connector is usually designed in a single row, which has a limited number and cannot support the scenario of multi-channel signal interconnection.
In the prior art, a part of the board card adopts a double-row golden finger structure, but as shown in fig. 1, because a consistent fixed distance (L1) needs to be kept between the golden finger and the internal wiring metal layer so as to ensure the signal quality, only the distance between the first row of golden fingers and the corresponding wiring metal layer can be ensured, and the position of the wiring metal layer corresponding to the second row of golden fingers is occupied by the wiring metal layer corresponding to the first row of golden fingers, the wiring metal layer corresponding to the second row of golden fingers can only be shifted, the distance cannot be ensured, the increase (L2) or the decrease (L3) is forced, and the signal quality is reduced.
