ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly includes a housing having support walls extending between a loading end and a mating end that define a mating interface. A contact module is received within the housing through the loading end, and the contact module includes contacts, a body and a plurality of conductors held by the body. The conductors extend between mating ends and wire terminating ends, and the contacts extend from the mating ends of the conductors at the mating interface of the housing. The wire terminating ends are configured to be terminated to individual wires of a cable. A clip has a first securing tab and a second securing tab, wherein the first securing tab is securely coupled to the housing and the second securing tab is securely coupled to the contact module. The clip securely retains the contact module within the housing.
