Socket for retaining in-line modules

A socket for retaining a module includes a base extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite first and second ends. The base includes a slot extending along the longitudinal axis. The slot is configured to receive a contact mating edge of a module. The slot defines a module retention plane along which a module is inserted into the slot. An end bracket is joined to the base and extends along the module retention plane. At least one locking member is disposed on the end bracket. The locking member is configured to engage the module to prevent removal of the module once the module is fully inserted into the base.
