ABSTRACT:
A latching mechanism for use in selectively securing a module within a receptacle of a host device. In one example embodiment, a latching mechanism includes a bail and a latch attached to the bail. The bail is configured to be attached to a shell of a module and to rotate about a first axis between a latched position and an unlatched position. The first axis is in a fixed position relative to the shell. The latch is attached to the bail at a second axis that is offset from the first axis. The latch is configured to rotate about the second axis. The second axis is movable relative to the shell.
