ABSTRACT:
An alignment and blind mate assist shroud (22) is disclosed having a body portion (64) securable to a right angle connector (20) thereby forming an assembly (116). The alignment and blind mate assist shroud (22) also has an extension portion that extends above the shroud (62) of connector (20) to assist in aligning a complementary connector during mating. The body portion (64) also has a keying protrusion (24,24',24",24'") adapted to extend beyond the mounting face (41) of the connector housing (26) to key the connector assembly (116) to a particular location on a circuit board (122). The keying protrusion (24,24',24",24'") cooperates with a notch (118,118',118",118'") in an edge of the circuit board (122) on which the right angle connector assembly (116) is adapted to be mounted to assure that the appropriate right angle connector assembly (116) is mounted to the corresponding location on the circuit board (122).
