Abstract
A transceiver module ( ) having a release mechanism includes a connector assembly ( ), a driving device ( ), and a pull tab ( ). The connector assembly includes a tab ( ) for being received in a hole ( ) of a bendable portion ( ) of a receptacle ( ), which receptacle receives the transceiver module therein. The driving device includes, a release member ( ) and a wedge member ( ). Both the pull tab and the wedge member are mechanically linked to the release member. When the pull tab is pulled outwardly, the release member rotates with respect to the connector assembly, driving the wedge member to press against the bendable portion of the receptacle, thus disengaging the tab from the hole. The transceiver module is then easily withdrawn from the receptacle. This arrangement allows the transceiver modules to be closely stacked together while still being readily accessible. This advantage decreases a stacking height of multiple transceiver modules.
