Abstract

The invention provides an adapter, suitable for transferring a solid state disk (SSD) compliant with M.2 2230 specification into a memory card compatible with CFexpress Type B specification. The adapter comprises at least an adapter metal housing, an adapter circuit body and design/device for installing the adapter housing (at least comprising the adapter metal housing) and the adapter circuit body. The adapter designs provided by the invention are based on stacked and electrical connections of multi circuit boards, which hugely simplifies the requirements of CFexpress Type B standard on the design of the housing, so that the external contact interface requirements of CFexpress Type B are met with low cost. The cost of transferring the M.2 2230SSD into a memory card compatible with CFexpress Type B specification and various stress specifications is reduced.

Description

Adapter transferring SSD into CFexpress Type B card Technical Field
The present invention relates to an adapter, which is suitable for transferring a solid state disk (SSD) compliant with M.2 2230 specification into a memory card compatible with CFexpress Type B specification.
 Background Art
Both the CFexpress memory card and the M.2 solid state disk are designed with PCIe bus, running the NVMe protocol, but in different physical package forms. Specifically, the size of each direction of CFexpress Type B specification is greater than the corresponding size of the M.2 2230 specification, make it possible to transfer a M.2 2230 SSD into a memory card compatible with the CFexpress Type B specification.
 Technical Problem
​In addition to the design to be protected by the present invention, there are 2 kind known related adapters: the same housing as the commercially available CFexpress Type B memory card, without changing or slightly modifying, and forcibly plugging the M.2 2230 SSD through the adapter circuit board, since there is a great difference in the setting target of the M.2 2230 specification and the CFexpress Type B specification, the M.2 2230 SSD will have even slight bending, and thereby generate an undesirable stress concentration; and the other is designed according to the outline of the standard CFexpress Type B housing, so that it can be suitable for installing the adapter circuit board and the M.2 2230 SSD, however these housing must be produced by high-cost methods such as CNC, injection molding, die casting or powder metallurgy. One significant feature of the above 2 designs is that they both use a single adapter circuit board as one layer to accommodate the size requirements of CFexpress Type B specification in external contact interface through the housing, while this will generate an undesirable stress concentration or hugely increase the cost.
 Technical Solution
An adapter according to one aspect of the present invention, suitable for transferring a solid state disk (SSD) compliant with M.2 2230 specification into a memory card compatible with CFexpress Type B specification, comprises at least:an adapter metal housing having one or more through holes facilitating installation and fixation of the entire adapter, the adapter housing comprises the adapter metal housing at least; an adapter circuit body having at least one M.2 connector for SSD, one or more CFexpress Type B connection plates disposed above the component surface side of the main printed circuit board (PCB), and the adapter circuit body further fixing one or more nuts by welding or gluing for mounting the adapter housing; andone or more screws for mounting the adapter housing and the adapter circuit body.
