A diaphragm latch may comprise a housing, a diaphragm disposed in the housing, a pin coupled to the diaphragm, an opening in the housing, and a pin aperture disposed in the first side, wherein the pin extends from the pin aperture. The diaphragm may be configured to move in response to a pressure being communicated through the opening, and the pin may be configured to at least one of extend or retract from the pin aperture in response to the diaphragm moving. The diaphragm latch may passively couple an inner fixed structure (IFS) to an intermediate case (IMC) during an overpressure event.
