1. A method of forming a shielded electrical connector configured to receive a corresponding shielded electrical connector, comprising:
forming a shield terminal attachment segment having a substantially tubular first portion defining a first axis and a first seam and second portion having two semicircular channels that extends from the first portion defining a second axis that is oriented at a right angle to the first axis;
forming a shield terminal connection segment having a substantially tubular third portion having a third axis and a second seam;
inserting an inner insulator within the shield terminal attachment segment;
joining edges of the first seam and joining the two semicircular channels to form a tubular shape;
arranging the second seam opposite to the first seam; and
attaching the shield terminal connection segment to the shield terminal attachment segment such that the third axis is coaxial with the first axis.
