1. A pluggable module for being pluggably received within a receptacle assembly, the pluggable module comprising:
a circuit board configured to be terminated to a cable; a housing extending a length from a plug end to a cable end, the housing comprising complementary first and second shells that are mated together along a mating axis such that the first and second shells define an interior chamber of the housing, the circuit board being held within the interior chamber such that the circuit board is exposed at the plug end, wherein the first and second shells comprise respective first and second openings that extend into the respective first and second shells along respective first and second central axes that each extend non-parallel to the mating axis, the first and second openings being at least partially aligned; and a spring pin extending within the first and second openings to hold the first and second shells together, wherein a first segment of the spring pin extends within the first opening of the first shell and a second segment of the spring pin extends within the second opening of the second shell; wherein the pluggable module is configured to be received within the receptacle assembly along an insertion axis that extends approximately perpendicular to the mating axis, the first and second central axes of the respective first and second openings extending approximately parallel to the insertion axis. |
