ABSTRACT:
A latching mechanism (200) for a surface contact card, used in a portable electronic device, includes a receiving cavity (11) defined in a body (10) and a latch module (12). The body defines a receiving cavity configured for receiving the surface contact card therein, and including a connector disposed in the receiving cavity. The latch module is mounted adjacent the receiving cavity, the latch module including a supporting portion and a rotating bar pivotably supported on the supporting portion. The latch module includes a supporting portion (13) and a rotating bar (300). The rotating bar includes an elastic member surroundingly formed thereon, the elastic member (302) being configured for providing a sufficient friction force to drive the surface contact card to move into or out the receiving cavity upon being pressed against the surface contact card.
