Abstract

An electronics housing enabled to compensate for the accumulation of dimensional tolerances to enable reliable connection between one or more connectors mounted to internal electronic components and external connectors from one or more external devices. An alignment plate is provided that adapts an aperture in the housing to the connectors. The alignment plate is adapted to account for tolerance accumulation by being positional within the housing while substantially covering the space between the connectors and the housing aperture. The alignment plate in cooperation with an EMI a shield provides electromagnetic shielding about the connectors.
