Eurocard PCBs are - as you might’ve guessed from the name - a European standard format for printed circuit boards (PCB). The fact that they’re standardised means they can be plugged together into an (equally standardised) subrack or chassis, and are completely interchangeable without needing to significantly alter, upgrade or replace the overall mounting system to accommodate new hardware.
In proper use, the term Eurocards strictly refers to a mechanical slotting/mounting system and does not define the specific connector to be used for channelling the output signal from the PCBs through to subsequent components (nor, in fact, the types of signals that are assigned to those connector contacts).
In this guide, we’ll take a closer look at precisely what Eurocards are, what types and sizes are available on the current market, and some of the different uses of Eurocards found installed in hardware networks across a significant proportion of our modern industries and sectors today.
