Abstract
An optical transceiver having a locking assembly that prevents undesirable movement of the optical transceiver when engaged with another device is described. The locking assembly includes a slide with a projection, lift, and weighted stops. In a first configuration, the slide and weighted stops can sustain contact between a thermal interface material of the optical transceiver and the other device while locking the optical transceiver to prevent movement. In a second configuration mode, the locking assembly disengages the thermal interface material from the other device and unlocks the weighted stops to permit disconnection from the other device.
