PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve mechanical strength of a shield member without increasing plate thickness by forming a fit-inserting hole at a substantially central portion of a front surface of a housing, forming an insert tongue piece in a shield member at a position facing the fit-inserting hole, fit-inserting the insert tongue piece into the fit-inserting hole when mounting the shield member to the housing, and engaging the housing with the shield member. SOLUTION: An electric connector 20 fastens the upper and lower parts of the central part of the front surface 3a of a housing with the upper and lower parts of the central part of a metallic shield member 4 at positions facing the upper and lower parts of the central part of the front surface 3a via connecting means comprising fit-inserting holes 21. An insert tongue piece 22 with tip bent in a substantially L-shape is integrally formed with the metallic shield member 4 at positions facing the fit-inserting hole 21. When the metallic shield member 4 having the insert tongue piece 22 is fit-inserted into the housing having the fit-inserting hole 21, the insert tongue piece 22 is fit-attached with the inside of the fit-inserting hole 21 facing it, therefore, the metallic shield member 4 and the housing are strongly locked with each other in a front central portion to increase mechanical strength. |
