The first and the second housing portions (102, 104) are configured to mate to form a housing (412). The slidable element (106) is slidably disposed in the housing (412), and is configured to fasten the first and the second housing portions (102, 104) when in a first position and unfasten the first and the second housing portions (102, 104) when in a second position. The housing (412) defines an opening (198) to access a positioning tab (123) of the ridable element (106).
