EMI properties are improved in an electrical connector for flat cables (1) and in a shield member (30) used therein. The electrical connector for flat cables (1) is constituted by: contacts (4), for contacting a shielding surface of a flat cable (100), which is inserted into the connector (1); an insulative housing (2), for holding the contacts (4), which is mounted on a circuit board (80) having a grounding portion (82); and the shield member (30), which is mounted on the insulative housing (2) so as to cover the outer surfaces thereof. The shielding surface of the flat cable (100) and the grounding portion (82) of the circuit board (80) are electrically connected when the shield member (30) is mounted on the insulative housing (2). |
