A lockable latch and switch actuator assembly for a circuit card includes a spring clip having a slot cooperating with a tab on a latch handle to lock the latch in its closed position. A release portion on the spring clip may be pushed to release the tab from the slot and unlock the latch. The other end of the spring clip is formed with an actuating portion which engages the actuator of a proximity switch mounted to the circuit card when the latch is in its locked position. This actuating portion is spring loaded so that when the latch is released from the locked position, the latch is pushed to an ajar position from which it can be moved to its fully open position.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A faceplate assembly including a printed circuit card insertable into a shelf unit, the circuit card including a switch having an actuator movable to a predetermined position when the circuit card is fully inserted in the shelf unit, the assembly comprising:a bracket member secured to an edge of the circuit card;a latch member pivotably mounted relative to the circuit card, the latch member having a latch hook portion adjacent the circuit card and engagable with cooperating structure of the shelf unit to releasably retain the circuit card within the shelf unit, and the latch member further having a handle portion extending through a first opening of the bracket member and terminated by a user engagable portion to allow a user to pivot the latch member; anda resilient clip secured to the bracket member, the clip having a first portion engagable with the latch member handle portion to yieldably bias the latch member toward a position where the latch hook portion is disengaged from the shelf unit cooperating structure, and the clip having a second portion extending through a second opening of the bracket member to engage the switch actuator and move the switch actuator to the predetermined position when the latch member is pivoted to a position where the latch hook portion engages the shelf unit cooperating structure.
