Abstract
A receptacle for a pluggable module includes an electrically conductive housing having connection members which are configured to electrically connect the housing to a circuit board. The housing has a cavity and an open front for receiving the module into the cavity. The housing has a resilient latch tab that cooperates with a latching member on the module to secure the module in the cavity. The latch tab is electrically conductive and is integrally formed with the housing.
