A self-aligning shield splitter assembly (10) for splitting and shielding a wiring bundle (16) from an electromagnetic field and a method of assembling the same are provided. The shield splitter assembly (10) includes a first (12) and a second (14) hollow shield splitter. Each of the splitters (12, 14) defining an internal volume (36) for receiving a portion (54, 56) of the wiring bundle (16). Each of the splitters (12, 14) further includes open ends (32, 34) and a plurality of ridges (42, 44, 46) disposed along an exterior portion of the splitter (12, 14). The plurality of ridges (42, 44, 46) are perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the splitter (12, 14). A plurality of braided shields (20, 22, 24) is provided individually surrounding the first splitter (12), the second splitter (14), and the wiring bundle (16). The plurality of braided shields (20, 22, 24) minimizes penetration of electromagnetic fields into the wiring bundle (16). At least one retaining band (26, 28) is also provided for securing the first splitter (12), the second splitter (14), and the plurality of braided shields (20, 22, 24) together. The retaining band (26, 28) is positioned between the plurality of ridges (42, 44, 46) of the first (12) and second (14) splitters.
