'''Eurocard''' is a European standard format for PCB cards, which can be plugged together into a standardized [[19-inch rack|subrack]]. The subrack consists of a series of slotted card guides on the top and bottom, into which the cards are slid so they stand on end, like books on a shelf. At the "back" of each card is one or more connectors, which plug into mating connectors on a [[backplane]] in the rear of the subrack.

The Eurocard standard is also the basis of the [[Eurorack]] format for modular synthesizers, popularized by [[Doepfer]] and other manufacturers.
