Abstract
Assembly (10) includes at least one pair of retention members (12) at ends of a board-mounted receptacle connector and defines guide channels (26) for insertion thereinto of a module (20) or card (18). A latching member (50) is pivotably mounted to each retention member (12) to be pivoted into latching engagement with a recess (38,40) of the module or card. A detent is defined by a stop embossment (70) such that an actuator arm (56) of the latching member latches therebeneath to prevent counterrotation of the latching member after latching, to assure maintenance of the latched condition.
