A shielded connector, use of mating shielded connector and shielded connector assembly

摘要

An object of the present invention is to suppress a reduction in a shielding function. If a preventing groove 29 (erroneous connection preventing portion) is formed in the circumferential surface of a fitting space 17, a first shielding shell 26 needs to be formed with a notch corresponding to the preventing groove 29 in order to enable the engagement with a projection 37 (erroneous connection preventing portion) of a second housing 31. However, the preventing groove 29 is so arranged as to correspond to one slit 27 and this slit 27 as means for avoiding the interference with a coupling rib 16 is used as the notch for enabling the engagement of the projection 37 and the preventing groove 29. Thus, it is not necessary to form the notch in addition to the slit 27. Therefore, noise leakage paths in the first shielding shell 26 do not increase, thereby suppressing a reduction in a shielding function by the first shielding shell 26.
