Abstract
A delatch mechanism includes wedges that reside in pockets adjacent to a post on a module when the module is latched in a cage. Pulling on a handle pulls the wedges out of the pockets so that the wedges rise and lift a tab. Pulling the delatch mechanism to a limit of its motion frees the post on the module from the tab, and further pulling transfers to the module to pull the module out of the cage. The delatch mechanism can include a spring system that returns the wedges to their pockets for latching, allows movement of the wedges relative to the module for lifting of the tab, and locks into the module to pull the module free of the cage. Handles for the latch mechanism can include a bail, a flexible tab, or fixed handle that is part of an integrated structure including the wedges.
