A connector configured to hold a contact module. The connector includes a housing that has an interior surface defining a cavity that extends between first and second ends of the housing. The cavity is configured to receive and hold the contact module therein. The connector also includes a spring tab that is located in the cavity and oriented to project from the interior surface toward the first end of the housing. The spring tab is integrally formed with the housing. Also, the connector includes a ridge portion that is located in the cavity and oriented to project from the interior surface. The contact module is retained between the ridge portion and the spring tab.
