Claim:
A latch mechanism for a pluggable optical module to selectively couple the pluggable optical module on an electronic device, comprising: a lever having an axle to couple one end of the optical module, the axle having at least one boss located thereon; a latch trough located on the optical module to hold the boss having a datum plane in contact with the boss to allow the axle to form a latch position and a release position; and a sliding member slidably located on the optical module to couple with the lever; wherein in normal conditions the axle is located on the latch position and the boss has one side pressing the datum plane to allow the sliding member to be latched on the electronic device to anchor the optical module on the electronic device; the lever being turnable about the axle relative to the optical module to move the boss away from to the release position and drive the lever to move relative to the optical module so that the sliding member is moved relative to the optical module and disengaged with the electronic device to form a released condition.
