ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a shielded connector which has a relatively small size and simple construction, and which at the same time allows for stable fastening of a shield member to a housing. Shielded connector (10) has a shield member (50), which is mounted along an outside surface of a housing (30). The shield member (50) has an upper wall (51) and a pair of side walls (58), which are positioned on both sides of the upper wall (51). When the shield member (50) is mounted on the housing (30), surface-mounting sections (57b), which are located in the same plane with the side walls (58), are passed through first sections of slots (35) formed in the housing (30), after which the surface-mounting sections (57b) are bent outward substantially at right angles. As a result, a mounting surface, which coincides with a bottom surface of the housing (30) is obtained; furthermore, the surface-mounting sections (57b) engage with portions of the housing (30) so that the shield member (50) is fastened to the housing (30).
