Abstract
A dual connector system includes a host circuit board with first and second electrical connectors. The first electrical connector has a housing with a card slot, first contacts and a latching feature. The second electrical connector has a housing with second contacts. The dual connector system includes a dual connector module having a module circuit board having contact pads. The dual connector module has a latch movable between a latched position and an unlatched position. The latch engages the latching feature of the first electrical connector in the latched position to hold the dual connector module in a mated position. A release mechanism is operably coupled between the dual connector module and at least one of the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector. The release mechanism forces the dual connector module to an unmated position after the latch is moved from the latched position to the unlatched position.
