Latching mechanisms
Latching mechanisms are devices that securely hold two components together until intentionally released. They use a catch or lock that engages automatically when two parts come into contact, ensuring a firm connection. To disconnect, a specific action or force releases the latch. These mechanisms are common in many applications, such as doors, battery connectors, and electronic switches, providing reliable and easy-to-control engagement and disengagement without the need for continuous manual effort.
