Embodiment Construction

[0022] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to a latch mechanism for selectively securing a module within a receptacle of a host device. The exemplary latch mechanism disclosed in this application enables insertion and extraction of modules while providing a handle capable of withstanding relatively high pull forces. The exemplary latch mechanism also includes features that facilitate selectively retaining the module within the receptacle of the host device and extracting the module from the receptacle when desired. Additionally, in one exemplary embodiment, the latch mechanism is configured to retract the tab of the latch mechanism while it is statically in the latched position when the module is inserted into a receptacle having a generally rigid leading edge. engagement pins to prevent malfunction.

[0023] 1. Exemplary modules:

[0024] see first Figures 1A-1C , the figure shows an exemplary module 100 for sending / receiving optical signals, wherein the...

Abstract

A latching mechanism for a module includes a bail in which the bail includes a first shell bar part hole and a second shell bar part hole together defining a first axis, the first shell bar part hole and the second shell bar part hole are configured to be a first shell bar part and a second shell bar which respectively receive the shell of the module, the bail is configured to rotate about the first axis between a latched position and an unlatched position, the first axis is in a fixed position relative to the shell, and the bail further includes a second latch bar part hole and a second latch bar part hole together defining a second axis, the second axis migrates from the first axis along a vertical direction and a horizontal direction, the first axis and the second axis extend along an x axis direction; and a latch member including a first latch bar part and a second latch bar part received in the first latch bar part hole and the second latch bar part hole of the bail, the latch is configured to rotate around the second axis, and the second axis is configured to move relative to the shell due to the rotation of the bail.

Description

Background technique [0001] Modules, such as electronic or optoelectronic transceiver or transponder modules, are increasingly used in the field of electronic and optoelectronic communication. Certain modules are pluggable, enabling the module to be plugged into and unplugged from a host device socket. The host devices are such as host computers, switch hubs, network routers, switch boxes. Some host devices include multiple sockets to accommodate multiple modules at the same time. Each module typically communicates with the host device's printed circuit board by sending and / or receiving electrical signals to and from the host device's printed circuit board. These electrical signals can also be sent in the form of optical signals and / or electrical signals through a module located outside the host device. [0002] To enable insertion of the module, various latch mechanisms have been developed to secure the module within the host device socket and to release the module from th...
