Description

A module type socket for extension slot

The present invention relates to a socket for a modular expansion slot, and more particularly to a socket for a modular expansion slot that can be easily installed in the expansion slot in the computer system.

In general personal computer systems, a slot and a female connector are used as a method of electrically connecting the main board and the expansion board. The slot may be formed in various ways according to the BUS supported by the computer system, that is, an industrial standard architecture (ISA), an extended industrial standard architecture (ISA), a video electronics standard association (VESA), a peripheral component interconnect (PCI), and the like. It is divided into boards and boards for each type.

Recently, ISA and PCI BUS are most commonly used in personal computer systems, and three to four ISA slots and two to three PCI slots are installed in a computer system.

As shown in FIG. 1, a main board 10 of a commonly used computer system is provided with four ISA slots 12 and three PCI slots 14.

However, this configuration has a problem in that expansion boards 18 installed in each of the ISA slot 12 and the PCI slot 14, as shown in FIG. 2, occupy a large amount of space inside the computer body 16. Is generated. Therefore, it is an obstacle to miniaturization and integration of personal computers.

The present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a new type of expansion slot socket for reducing the footprint of the expansion board installed in the computer system as much as possible.

In order to achieve the above object, the modular expansion slot socket of the present invention includes a body; A first terminal block formed to protrude a predetermined length from one surface of the body and having terminals electrically coupled to expansion slots of the computer system; A second terminal block formed on one side of the body in a direction perpendicular to the first terminal block, and coupled to an expansion board electrically connected to an expansion slot of the computer system through the first terminal block; And a third terminal block formed on the upper surface of the body in a direction to be coupled to the first terminal block and electrically connected to the expansion slot of the computer system through the first terminal block.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6, and the same reference numerals are used for components that perform the same function.

3 and 4, the socket for the modular expansion slot according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed so as to protrude a predetermined length from the body (22,32), one surface of the body (22, 32), computer First terminal blocks 24 and 34 having terminals connected to the expansion slots of the system and electrically connected thereto, and formed on one side of the bodies 22 and 32 in a direction perpendicular to the first terminal blocks 24 and 34; A second terminal block 26 and 36 coupled to an expansion board electrically connected to an expansion slot of the computer system through the first terminal block 24 and 34 and opposed to the first terminal block 24 and 34. Is formed to be coupled to the first terminal block 24, 34 on the upper surface of the body (22, 32) in the direction, and electrically connected to the expansion slot of the computer system through the first terminal block (24, 34) It is configured to include a third terminal block (28, 38).

In this case, the modular expansion slot socket is an ISA socket 20 and a PCI socket 30 used in the ISA expansion slot and the PCI expansion slot, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 5, the socket for the modular expansion slot of the present invention enables efficient use of space inside the computer system. That is, referring to FIG. 5, only one expansion slot 42 for ISA and one PCI expansion slot 44 are installed on the main board 40 of the computer system, and the socket for the modular expansion slot of the present invention is installed. You can use it to install multiple expansion boards.

At this time, the use of the socket for the modular expansion slot, first, when the expansion board is to be installed in the expansion slot for ISA of the computer system, the expansion board is coupled to the second terminal block 26 of the socket for ISA (20). Then, the first terminal block 24 is coupled to the expansion slot 42 for ISA of the computer system. Meanwhile, when another expansion board is to be installed in the expansion slot 42 for ISA, the expansion board is coupled to a second terminal block of another socket for ISA, and the first terminal block is coupled to the computer system. It is coupled to the third terminal block 28 of the socket 20. In such a case, when the expansion board coupled to the PCI expansion slot 44 of the computer system is also coupled, it may be installed using the PCI socket 30.

As shown in FIG. 6, the main board 40 of the computer system using the modular expansion slot socket may install only one ISA expansion slot 40 and PCI expansion slot 44, respectively.

By applying the present invention as described above, the expansion board installed in the expansion slot of the computer system can lower the ratio of occupying the internal space of the computer system, thereby enabling efficient use of the internal space of the computer system. Therefore, it is possible to contribute to the miniaturization and integration of the computer system while increasing the scalability of the computer system.
