Abstract
A receptacle housing for insertion into an opening of a receiving member, the receptacle housing comprising a plurality of surfaces including a front, right side and a left side surface. The receptacle housing having a cavity in the front surface thereof for receiving a connector. The receptacle housing having a protrusion on each of the right and left side surfaces, each protrusion ending with an edge, the protrusion permits the receptacle housing to slide through the receiving member. A lip is located around the front side surface of the receptacle housing. The receptacle housing is secured into an opening in the receiving member by the interaction of the lip around the front side surface and the edge on the protrusion. In addition, the plurality of surfaces are made from a polymer based material and both the plurality of surfaces and the cavity in the front surface thereof for receiving a connector, may be coated with a conductive material such as chrome or copper-nickel to provide shielding from electromagnetic interference.
