Abstract
In an example embodiment, a module latch mechanism includes a follower and a driver. The follower is configured to be slidingly positioned relative to a housing and to facilitate selective engagement of the housing with a host device. The follower includes a retaining member configured to retain a resilient member in at least one direction such that the resilient member urges the follower towards a first position relative to the housing. The driver is configured to be rotatingly positioned relative to the housing. The driver includes a cam configured to urge the follower towards a second position relative to the housing as the driver is rotated from a latched position to an unlatched position.
