'''Eurocard''' is a European standard format for [[PCB
The format does not define specific connectors to be used nor the signals that are assigned to connector contacts.<ref name="wie"/>
The Eurocard standard is also the basis of the [[Eurorack]] format for modular synthesizers, popularized by [[Doepfer]] and other manufacturers.▼

==Dimensions==
The Eurocard height is specified in U (for [[19-inch rack|rack unit]]), with 1 U being 1.75 inches. In practice heights are commonly 3U or 6U.<ref name="wie"/>
Eurocards come in depths that start at
A single size eurocard is 100mm x 160mm (3U) and double size eurocard is 233.35mm x 160mm (6U).<ref name="wie"/> The extra 33.35mm allows two 3U Eurocards to be supported properly next to one 6U high, with the width taken up by a card guide between the two 3U cards.
▲Eurocards come in depths that start at 100 millimetres (3.937 in) and then increase in 60 millimetres (2.362 in) increments. The 160 millimetres (6.299 in) depth is the most common today, however standard hardware is available to accommodate depths of 100 millimetres (3.937 in), 160 millimetres (6.299 in), 220 millimetres (8.661 in), 280 millimetres (11.024 in), 340 millimetres (13.386 in), and 400 millimetres (15.748 in).
