Abstract
An electronic device includes a chassis, a circuit board, a supporting bracket, a latching member, and a first connector. The chassis includes a bottom wall. The circuit board is mounted on the bottom wall, and includes a second connector. The supporting bracket is mounted on the bottom wall, adjacent to the second connector. The latching member is slidably mounted to the supporting bracket between a first position wherein the latching member is away from the first connector and located at a side of the supporting bracket, and a second position where the latching member extends out of the supporting bracket and abuts against the first connector toward the second connector.
Claims15
A mounting apparatus for preventing a first connector from disengaging from a second connector, the mounting apparatus comprising:
- a supporting bracket located adjacent to the second connector;
- and
- a latching member slidably mounted on the supporting bracket,
- wherein the latching member is movable between a first position where the latching member extends beyond the supporting bracket and abuts against the first connector toward the second connector when the first connector is engaged to the second connector, and a second position where the latching member is away from the first connector such that the first connector can be disengaged from the second connector.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a chassis comprising a bottom wall;
- a circuit board mounted on the bottom wall of the chassis, the circuit board comprising a first connector;
- a supporting bracket mounted on the bottom wall of the chassis, adjacent to and facing the first connector;
- a second connector;
- and
- a latching member slidably mounted to the supporting bracket between a first position where the latching member is away from the first connector and located at a side of the supporting bracket, and a second position where the latching member extends out of the supporting bracket and abuts against the second connector toward the first connector;
- wherein when the latching member is slid to the first position, the second connector can be inserted into the first connector;
- wherein when the latching member is slid to the second position, the latching member abuts against the second connector toward the first connector.
