ABSTRACT:
Rotating latching mechanism for securing Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA) mezzanine card (AdvancedMC) modules within mezzanine slots on an ATCA carrier board. The rotating latching mechanism includes a rotating latching member having a handle coupled to a shaft to which a latching paddle and position detector actuator paddle are also coupled. The rotating latching member is pivotally coupled relative to a faceplate of a module proximate to the handle, and the shaft at the opposite end is supported by a rear bearing support member coupled to the modules circuit card. As the handle is rotated, the latching paddle is rotated to engage a cutout formed in a strut coupled to the ATCA carrier board, thus latching the module in place. The position detector actuator paddle is also rotated to cause a position detector to be actuated.
