Abstract
In a connector assembly (10), an improved receptacle housing (12) includes a chute (28), receiving and retaining wires (15), which is integrally molded to a wire side (20) of the receptacle housing (12). A strain relief (14) is removably attached to the receptacle housing (12) above the chute to protect wires (15). Prelatch beams (58, 58') with a bump (61, 61') on each prelatch beam (58, 58') temporary retain the receptacle housing (12) to a module connector (11) when the bump (61, 61') is locked into a respective hole (69, 69') on the module connector (11).
