Abstract
An electromagnetic terminal shield includes a shield body formed of sheet metal having a connector opening configured to receive a corresponding mating terminal shield and a cable opening configured to receive a wire cable and a plurality of cantilevered spring arms integrally formed with the shield body having fixed ends attached to the connector opening and free ends disposed within a shield cavity defined by the shield body. Each spring arm in the plurality of cantilevered spring arms has a free end that is in contact with the inner surface of the shield body within the shield cavity. A process for manufacturing an electromagnetic terminal shield and the electromagnetic terminal shield produced by this process are also presented herein.
