ABSTRACT:
A plug-in module (100) configured for latching engagement with a module receptacle adapted for mounting to a printed circuit board includes opposite sidewalls (11, 21) parallel to each other, and a latch mechanism (8). The latch mechanism includes a pair of sliders (3) and a bail (4). The sliders are sliderably attached to the sidewalls and are configured and arranged to linerear move relative to the sidewalls along a mating direction of the plug-in module. Each slider includes an actuating end for latching with a tab of the module receptacle. The bail is attached to the sidewalls and one ends of the sliders and is configured and arranged such that the rotate motion of the bail results in the linerear movement of the sliders. The bail includes a pair of elastic arms (42) integrally formed therewith and capable of linerear movement relative to the sidewalls along a direction perpendicular to the mating direction to provide elastic restore force to the sliders. The rotation of the bail results in the linerear movement of the elastic arms and the sliders to actuate the actuating ends of the sliders deflecting the latch tabs of the module receptacle to separate the plug-in module from the module receptacle.
