ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a shield case for surrounding a contact portion of a terminal to be connected to a mating connector to be fitted in through an opening formed in a conductive front panel of an electrical device; and an attaching surface to be attached to a back surface of the front panel of the electrical device. The shield case has a cylindrical shape formed of a metal plate through bending. A housing includes the attaching surface and a receptacle portion recessed relative to the attaching surface. The shield case is retained in the receptacle portion. The shield case includes an elastic contact portion at a part thereof formed through bending. The elastic contact portion protrudes forward from a level of the attaching surface of the housing. When the electrical connector is attached to the front panel, the elastic contact portion elastically contacts with the front panel.
