Abstract
An expansion card latching mechanism may include a base anchored to a printed circuit board. The latching mechanism may also include a latch coupled to the base such that a proximal end of the latch locks a proximal end of an expansion card to a fixed position on the printed circuit board. In addition the latching mechanism may include a compression spring wrapped around an arm of the latch such that the compression spring exerts a tension to maintain a locked position of the latch. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
