Abstract
A latch mechanism capable of unlocking a first electronic module and a second electronic module separately includes an operating component, a base, a first moving component, a second moving component, a first latch component, and a second latch component. The operating component moves relative to the base along different directions to selectively drive one of the first moving component and the second moving component. When the first moving component is moved to drive the first pivoting component to pivot, the first latch component can be disengaged from the first electronic module, which unlocks the first electronic module. When the second moving component is moved to drive the second pivoting component to pivot, the second latch component can be disengaged from the second electronic module, which unlocks the second electronic module. It allows users to replace the first electronic module or the second electronic module separately.
