The invention comprises an electrical connector having a housing with a mating face, side walls, a top wall, and contact receiving cavities to receive electrical contacts therein. A pair of latching members are disposed along each of the side walls. An alignment shroud is removably mounted to the housing, the shroud having a forwardly facing angled surface extending forwardly and outwardly from a central portion of the shroud. A pair of latching legs extend rearwardly from the central portion, each of the latching legs having an opening wherein the latching members are received within the openings to secure the shroud to the housing. The central portion is secured along the mating face and the forwardly facing angled surface extend outwardly from the mating face to guide a matable connector into alignment with the contact receiving cavities.
