Abstract
A cover for an electronic module that has a housing holding a electrical component and a circuit board for operating the electrical component includes a cover plate having an interior surface and an exterior surface. The cover plate has a dielectric body. A majority of at least one of the interior surface and the exterior surface includes a conductive layer to provide electrical shielding for the cover plate. A connector portion is formed integrally with the cover plate defining a unitary structure. The connector portion includes a plurality of contact channels and a shroud extending from the exterior surface that surrounds a receptacle configured to receive a plug connector therein. Contacts are held in corresponding contact channels that have mating ends positioned in the receptacle and mounting ends exposed beyond the interior surface for mounting to the circuit board.
