Description

Fake solid state drive circuit board

The present invention relates to a pseudo solid-state hard disk circuit board, in particular, the use of electrical circuits to connect gold fingers and light-emitting diodes to produce light effects, and the electrical circuit itself does not have any floating breakpoints or open points, which will not cause The effect of antenna interference.

A general computer host or high-performance server needs to be equipped with multiple solid-state hard disk slots for inserting the required memory circuit boards or modules. The solid-state drive circuit board uses its own golden fingers to contact the electrical connector of the solid-state drive slot to achieve electrical connection. Therefore, the user can conveniently expand the hard disk capacity of the overall system according to actual needs.

Recently, the industry has introduced memory modules with lighting effects that can increase the visual experience. For example, after power on, light-emitting diodes on the memory modules are illuminated. The specific effect is to facilitate users when they need to be replaced. It is easy to identify and locate the specific memory module. However, for the vacant memory slot or even the solid-state drive slot without a memory module, there is no lighting effect. If a memory module with a particle module is inserted directly, although the same lighting effect can also be produced, the electrical circuit of this memory module itself will have an antenna effect due to a break or open point, which will cause interference. The operation stability of the surrounding electrical signals is affected, especially the system operating at ultra-high frequency, and the solid state drive is the same principle.

Therefore, there is a need for an innovative pseudo-solid-state hard disk circuit board, which uses electrical lines to connect the golden fingers and the contained light-emitting diodes, and the electrical lines themselves do not have any floating breakpoints or open points, which will not cause antenna interference effects , In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional technology problems.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pseudo-solid-state hard disk circuit board, including a circuit substrate, gold fingers, light-emitting diodes, and electrical circuits for plugging into a solid-state hard disk slot of an external device, wherein the circuit substrate has a plate shape The shape includes a front surface and a back surface, and at least one of the front surface and the back surface is configured with at least one pseudo solid state hard disk area, and gold fingers made of conductive material are arranged on the edges of the front surface and the back surface, Used to plug into the solid state drive slot of the external device for electrical contact and connection. The light guide is arranged on the front surface and the back surface, especially near the upper edge of the front surface and the back surface, and the electrical circuit is arranged on the front surface. The front and back surfaces are used to electrically connect the LED to the golden finger, so the power provided by the solid-state drive slot can be used to light up the LED through the golden finger and electrical circuit to show the light effect .

Specifically, the fake solid state hard disk area is located above the gold finger, and the electrical circuit can directly pass through or bypass the fake solid state hard disk area. Therefore, the electrical circuit only connects the gold finger and the light-emitting diode, and there is nothing in itself. The floating breakpoint or open circuit point can avoid the effect of causing antenna interference.
