Abstract

An EMI shield having a self-aligning device comprises a shroud portion defining a receptacle for receiving a mating portion of an inserted complementary connector. A first flange portion laterally extends around a bottom periphery of the shroud portion. The flange defines a plurality of holes for extension of locking bolts therethrough. Biasing tabs are integrally formed on side walls of the shroud portion and project into the receptacle for abutting against outer walls of a housing of the inserted complementary connector.
