Abstract
A locking handle is provided for mounting a circuit card module to a card cage or rack. The module is released from the cage by pulling the handle to flex and bow the latter to a release position disengaging the cage to allow removal of the module. Upon re-insertion, the handle is pushed flat against the front edge of the module by the operator such that the operator need not push against the raw circuit card module edge. After insertion, the handle is translated downwardly to a locking position engaging the cage to prevent removal of the module.
