The connector includes a dielectric housing, with the shield substantially surrounding the housing. The shield is stamped and formed from sheet metal material and includes a base wall integrally joined to a pair of opposite side walls and a pair of opposite end walls, defining a generally box-like structure having an open side at a mating side of the connector housing opposite the base wall of the shield. The shield is void of any open seams and includes flap portions integrally joining the side walls to the end walls of the shield. Each flap portion is disposed in a folded condition against one of the side walls or the end walls of the shield.
