| 1. An electromagnetic gasket filler comprising:
a first conductive shell having a pair of first side walls and a pair of first end walls extending from a first bottom wall
defining a first opening, the pair of first side walls each having at least one first outward bias positioned thereon, the
pair of first end walls each having a first tab extending therefrom, and the first bottom wall having an array of first openings
and a pair of apertures; and
a second conductive shell having a pair of second side walls and a pair of second end walls extending from a second bottom
wall defining a second opening, the pair of second side walls and pair of second end walls each having at least one second
outward bias positioned thereon, and the second bottom wall having an array of second openings,
wherein said first outward bias is configured to electrically connect to an inner surface defining an empty slot of an electrical
enclosure, the second outward bias electrically connecting the second conductive shell to first conductive shell when the
second conductive shell is disposed within the first opening defined by the first conductive shell.
