An illustrative example embodiment of a connector includes a terminal configured to establish an electrically conductive connection with another component and a shroud surrounding the terminal. The shroud includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall that is transverse to the first sidewall. The first sidewall and the second sidewall have a sidewall dimension in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the terminal. The shroud includes a first transition between the first sidewall and the second sidewall in the form of a hollow cylindrical sector having a first angular measurement of more than 90 degrees. The transition has a transition dimension that is less than the sidewall dimension.
