Abstract
An optical communications module includes a receptacle with a stop member. The receptacle has a keyway and a latchway. The keyway is configured to receive and guide a body of the connector plug in a direction along a keyway axis. The latchway is defined by a total flexure range of the flexible latch arm between a fully flexed state and a fully relaxed state. The latchway is configured to receive and guide the flexible latch arm through a range of movement having a directional component perpendicular to the keyway axis. The stop member extends from a wall of the receptacle into the latchway. The stop member is configured to restrain the flexible latch arm in a latched state between the fully flexed state and the fully relaxed state.
