ABSTRACT:
A lever-type latch assembly is mountable onto an outer edge rail of a PC board or module. The lever portion pivots on a base mounted to the edge rail. An ergonomically shaped catch slides within the lever and has a pair of tab bearing snap fingers that ride on shoulders on the inner sidewalls of the lever. A pawl extends outwardly from the pivoted end of the lever having a pair of feet straddling the base mount. Alternately, a bump can be included on the base to provide a detent function. The slide catch carries a pair of locking tabs. The base includes a pair of mating locking tabs. The catch is spring biased towards the base pivot position, thereby biasing the catch looking tabs into overlapping contact with the base locking tabs. The catch can have a flat outer face for a product label.
