1. A method of forming a shielded electrical terminal configured to receive a corresponding shielded electrical terminal, comprising the steps of:

  • a) cutting a shield terminal preform from a sheet of metal defining a single plane, said shield terminal preform having a first shield preform integrally formed with a second shield preform;

    b) forming the shield terminal preform such that the first shield preform is formed into a generally tubular shape having a first axis and single open seam and the second shield preform is formed into two semicircular channels having a second axis that is oriented at a right angle to the first axis;

    c) disposing an inner insulator within the shield terminal preform;

    d) providing an outer housing defining a cylindrical cavity; and

    e) placing the first shield preform within the cylindrical cavity, thereby joining edges of the single open seam and joining the two semicircular channels to form a tubular shape.
