ABSTRACT:
A plug-in module (100) includes opposite sidewalls (11, 21) parallel to each other and extending along a longitudinal direction parallel to a mating direction of the plug-in module, and a latch mechanism (8). The latch mechanism includes an actuating member (4) and a pair of ejectors (5). The actuating member is rotatably assembled to the sidewalls and includes a pair of actuating arms (42) each formed with an actuating end (43) at one distal end thereof, and an operating portion (41) across the sidewalls along a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and connecting the other distal ends of the pair of actuating arms. The pair of ejectors are rotatably assembled to the sidewalls to cooperate with the actuating ends of the actuating member. The actuating member is configured and arranged such that movement of the operating portion thereof in up-to-down direction results in down-to-upward movement of the actuating arms and the actuating ends to thereby actuate the ejectors outwardly rotate relative to the sidewalls adapted for deflecting the latch tab of the module receptacle to separate the plug-in module from the module receptacle.
