1. A latching mechanism configured to selectively secure a communication module to a receptacle of a host device, the latching mechanism comprising:
a latch including a latch hook and latch protrusion; a latch release; and a cam mechanically coupled to latch release, the cam positioned with respect to the latch such that an activation force applied to the latch release translates the cam to contact the latch protrusion and displace the latch hook, wherein the latch comprises a first portion including the latch hook, a second portion integral with the first portion, and a latch neck connecting a third portion to the second portion, the second portion and the first portion configured to be displaced substantially in a first direction; wherein when the second portion and the first portion are displaced, a return force is generated that urges the second portion and the first portion in a second, opposite direction; wherein the third portion includes two securing features separated by an intra-securing feature dimension, the securing features configured to secure the latch to a shell of a module; and wherein the latch release comprises a latch release member having a member neck width corresponding to the intra-securing feature dimension, the latch release configured to be positioned between the securing features, and two coupling flaps separated by an inter-coupling flap dimension corresponding to a width dimension of the latch neck, wherein the coupling flaps are configured to be mechanically coupled to the cam and the latch neck is sized to be positioned between the coupling flaps. |
