Abstract
Latches for securing circuit board assemblies within a slot of a telecommunications chassis are provided. In one embodiment, a latch for restricting motion of a substrate with respect to a fixed component within a slot of the telecommunications chassis is described. For example, the latch may include a mounting section allowing the latch to be mounted to the substrate. The latch may also include a cantilever section and an arc section connecting the mounting section to the cantilever section. Furthermore, the latch may include a retention component extending from a surface of the cantilever section. The retention component may be configured to restrict motion of the substrate when engaged with the fixed component within the slot.
