The present invention relates to an EMI collar for use in a connector housed within a housing, comprising an upper housing and a lower housing, where the upper housing is assembled with the lower housing by relatively moving the upper housing in an assembly direction, where the upper housing is relatively moved towards the lower housing during assembly. The EMI collar comprises a band comprising an electrically conductive resilient material and a plurality of spring fingers formed on at least one surface of the band. Each of said spring fingers comprising a proximal end connected to said band and a distal end extending away from the band, where a direction defined by the proximal end towards the distal end is substantially the upper housing assembly direction.
