Abstract
A removable electronic module including electronic circuitry and a universal serial bus (USB) plug. The USB plug has an inner body and an outer sleeve movably coupled to the inner body. The outer sleeve is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the inner body. The inner body includes electrical contacts and one or more protrusions. The outer sleeve has one or more spring latch members configured to engage with a USB port in an installed state with a USB port. The protrusions are configured to, when the outer sleeve is in the first position, prevent removal of the USB plug from the USB port by preventing the spring latch members from disengaging from the USB port. When the outer sleeve is in the second position the spring latch members are free to disengage and the USB plug may be removed from the USB port.
