Abstract
A shroud is provided for an electrical connector having a plug interface for mating with a plug assembly and a component interface engaging an electrical component. The shroud includes a body having side walls defining a connector cavity configured to house the connector therein, wherein the side walls engage the connector. A plug opening is defined by a guide surface, and the opening provides access to the connector cavity and defines a mating window that is larger than the plug interface of the connector. A component surface extends substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the plug opening. The component surface is configured to engage the electrical component when the shroud is secured to the component.
