Abstract:
1. A receptacle for receiving an plug-in module with at least one depression at a side surface thereof, comprising: a main body having a receiving chamber penetrating a bottom thereof for engaging the plug-in module, and a first slot extending up and down defined in a front surface thereof and connecting the receiving chamber; an elastic element including an elastic portion received in an upper portion of the receiving chamber and capable of providing a downward pulling force to the plug-in module due to the upward compression by the plug-in module; a first resilient strip received in the first slot, wherein the first resilient strip extends downward from a front side of a main portion and slants rearward slightly, the main portion is fixed to a top surface of the main body; a locking portion extending rearward at a lower portion thereof and penetrating into the receiving chamber for buckling to the depression of the plug-in module, wherein the locking portion is two facing blades respectively extending rearward from two opposite sides of the lower portion of the first resilient strip; a control element for driving the locking portion to depart from the depression of the plug-in module for allowing the plug-in module to move outward due to the pulling of the elastic element.
