Patent ID: 7416433

Claim:
A plug-in module configured for latching engagement with a module receptacle adapted for mounting to a printed circuit board, comprising: opposite sidewalls parallel to each other; and a latch mechanism comprising: a pair of sliders sliderably attached to the sidewalls and being configured and arranged to linear move relative to the sidewalls; a bail attached to the sidewalls and one ends of the sliders and being configured and arranged such that the rotate motion of the bail results in the linear movement of the sliders; and a pair of ejectors pivotally attached to the sidewalls and cooperating with the sliders; and wherein the ejectors are configured and arranged such that the rotation of the bail results in the linear movement of the sliders to actuate the ejectors to 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; wherein each sidewall defines an accommodating channel to accommodate the slider therein, a pivot hole, and a cooperating space communicating with the accommodating channel and the pivot hole, and wherein the ejector forms a pivot rotatable received in the pivot hole and a main portion received in the cooperating space to contact the slider.
