Abstract
A communication module including a latching protrusion and an operating unit for operating the latching protrusion and easily accessing the operating unit even in the case of high-density mounting is achieved. The communication module includes a case including a plug connector which is inserted into/pulled out from a receptacle connector provided on a motherboard, a latching protrusion which has a variable protrusion length from the case and which can be latched with and unlatched from a latching hole provided on the motherboard, and an operating unit which moves the latching protrusion toward inside of the case to unlatch the latching protrusion from the latching hole. An operating direction of the operating unit is a direction (X direction) orthogonal to both of an arranging direction of the communication module and other communication module adjacent thereto and an inserting/pulling-out direction of the plug connector.
