In one embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed an electrical connector attachable to a printed circuit board and including an insulative housing. A plurality of signal conductors are provided, with each signal conductor having a first contact end, a second contact end, and an intermediate portion therebetween that is disposed in the insulative housing. A plurality of corresponding shield strips are provided, with each shield strip having a first contact end, a second contact end, and an intermediate portion therbetween that is disposed in the insulative housing adjacent one of the plurality of singnal conductors. Each intermediate portion of the shield strip has a surface with a first edge and a second edge, at least one of the first edge or the second edge being bent such that when the plurality of signal conductors and the corresponding shield strips are disposed in the insulative housing, the bent edge of the intermediate portion is directed toward the corresponding signal conductor.
