Abstract: A latching system for a small from pluggable receptacle that uses a securement recess in a resilient catch to secure a casing in the receptacle includes on a lateral surface of the casing a securement tang that is captured in the securement recess and a release trigger on a surface of the casing located outside the receptacle. The release trigger includes a mounting bridge defining a guide passage oriented toward the securement tang and an actuator slidably disposed in the guide passage for movement in alignment with the securement tang. A catch deflector extending centrally from the actuator toward the securement tang has a free end configured to displace the catch away from the casing when cause by an operator to move toward the securement tang.
