An assembly and method of assembling a connector is described. The connector assembly includes a housing having a plurality of signal contacts projecting therefrom. A shell is removably connected to the housing, the shell member including a pair of shell tabs for connecting the shell member to the housing member. A flexible circuit is soldered to the plurality of signal contacts of the housing member. The flexible circuit is wrapped against the housing and bent at a portion thereof for insertion into a gap formed between the housing and the shell. A protective material is positioned between the flexible circuit and the shell member, and the connector is secured by bending shell tabs of the shell around the housing member. Assembly of the connector includes applying the flexible circuit to the plurality of signal contacts of the housing member, folding a portion of the flexible circuit under the housing member into a gap formed by the separation of the housing from the shell, positioning a protective material between the remaining ends of the flexible circuit and the shell, and compressing the flexible circuit and the protective material between the housing and the shell by bending the shell tabs around the housing.
