ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided that comprises a housing with a front wall that separates a mating end from a loading end. The housing has a module support shroud that extends from the front wall toward the loading end and that has a latch element provided thereon. The connector also includes a contact module having an array of contacts that are held in a dielectric carrier. The contact module includes a mating end, sides and a module end. The module end slides along the module support shroud as the contact is loaded into the housing, until the mating end is located proximate to the front wall when the contact module is fully loaded. A retention latch member is formed separate from, and held by, the contact module. The retention latch member extends beyond the module edge and engages the latch element on the module support shroud to retain securely the contact module in the housing.
