What is claimed is: 1. A power distribution module comprising: a housing having a component chamber configured to house an electrical component therein, at least a portion of the housing defines a shield interface; and a header assembly coupled to the housing, the header assembly includes a header
What is claimed is: 1. A power distribution module comprising: a housing having a component chamber configured to house an electrical component therein, at least a portion of the housing defines a shield interface; and a header assembly coupled to the housing, the header assembly includes a header body including an inner body portion and an outer body portion, the header body extends between a first end and an opposed second end, the header body being coupled to the housing at the first end, the header body defining a separable mating interface at the second end that is configured to receive a mating connector, the header assembly further including a header shield positioned between the inner and outer body portions, wherein the header shield engages the shield interface of the housing when the header assembly is coupled to the housing. 2. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein a channel is formed between the inner and outer body portions, the header shield is received within the channel. 3. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein the header body is fabricated from a dielectric material, the outer body portion completely surrounds an outer surface of the header shield to isolate the header shield from an environment surrounding the power distribution module. 4. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein the header shield includes flexible mounting tabs extending therefrom, the mounting tabs engage the shield interface of the housing to create an electrical connection therebetween. 5. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein the header shield includes mating tabs extending therefrom, the mating tabs are positioned within the header body for engagement with a mating connector to electrically common the header shield with the mating connector. 6. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein the header assembly further includes a pin terminal received within the inner body portion, the pin terminal is configured to be electrically connected with the electrical component. 7. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein the header assembly further includes a pin terminal received within the inner body portion, the pin terminal includes a mating interface configured to mate with a mating connector, wherein the header shield is positioned radially outward from the mating interface of the pin terminal to provide circumferential shielding of the pin terminal. 8. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein the inner and outer body portions are integrally formed with one another. 9. The power distribution module of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive sealant applied between the header body and the housing. 10. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein the housing is metallic, the header shield is electrically common with the metallic housing. 11. The power distribution module of claim 1, wherein the housing includes an opening through a wall defining the housing; and wherein at least a portion of the header assembly extends through the opening and is configured to electrically connect with the electrical component, at least one of the header body, the header shield and the housing includes a latch extending therefrom, wherein the header assembly is secured to the housing by the latch. 12. The power distribution module of claim 11, wherein the header assembly is snappably coupled to the housing by the latch. 13. The power distribution module of claim 11, wherein at least one of the header body and the header shield includes the latch, the latch is loaded through the opening and engages the wall of the housing to secure the header assembly to the housing. 14. The power distribution module of claim 11, wherein at least a portion of the housing defines a shield interface, and wherein the header shield includes a flexible tab extending therefrom that defines the latch, the tab engages the shield interface of the housing to create an electrical connection therebetween. 15. The power distribution module of claim 11, wherein the header body defines a trough at an end thereof and the housing includes a lip extending into the trough when the header assembly is secured to the housing, wherein an adhesive sealant is provided within the trough to bond to each of the trough and the lip. 16. The power distribution module of claim 11, wherein at least one of the housing and the header assembly includes a keying feature for keyed mating of the header assembly with the housing. 17. A header assembly for a power distribution module comprising: a header body including an inner body portion and an outer body portion, a channel is formed between the inner and outer body portions and the inner body portion including a bore extending therethrough between a first end of the header body and a second end of the header body, the first end being configured for attachment to a housing of the power distribution module, the second end being configured to receive a mating connector therethrough; a pin terminal received within the bore of the inner body portion and configured for engagement with the mating connector; and a header shield positioned in the channel and configured for engagement with the housing of the power distribution module and with the mating connector to electrically common the mating connector and the housing. 18. The power distribution module of claim 17, wherein the header shield includes a body having a hollow interior extending along a longitudinal axis, the header shield includes a first set of tabs extending from a first portion of the body and a second set of tabs extending from a second portion of the body, the tabs are oriented non-parallel to the longitudinal axis and the first set of tabs are configured to engage the housing of the power distribution module and the second set of tabs are configured to engage the mating connector. 19. The power distribution module of claim 17, wherein the header shield provides circumferential shielding of the bore. 20. The power distribution module of claim 17, wherein the inner and outer body portions are separately provided from, and snappably coupled to, one another.
