ABSTRACT:
An inherently resilient metallic latch structure is provided for use in connection with a socket structure for a memory module board. The latch structure is separately manufacturable from the socket structure, and is applied thereto in a separate operation, and is effective to retain the memory module board against inadvertent release from the socket. For intentional release of the memory module from the socket, the latch requires only a downwardly directed force to be applied to a latch lever forming an integral part of the latch to impose a bending moment on the latch, effectively releasing the memory module board from the socket and permitting resilient ejection of the board from the socket. In a second aspect, the latch is integrally formed with the socket body, but includes an integral latch lever that may be depressed by application of a downwardly directed force to impose a bending moment on the latch to release the memory module board from the socket.
