There is disclosed a shield structure for a pair of electric connectors each of which includes an insulating housing with a contact disposed therein, and a conductive shield case surrounding the insulating housing, and the connectors being snugly fitted to each other. In the shield structure, an earth plate is disposed on at least one side wall of the insulating housing of one of the electric connectors. A part of the earth plate is held in touch with the conductive shield case in a manner such that it is held between the conductive shield case and the insulating housing, and another part of the earth plate lies above the side wall of the insulating housing and is exposed outside the conductive shield case. When the one electric connector and the other electric connector are snugly fitted, the conductive shield case of the other electric connector touches the other part of the earth plate, whereby both the conductive shield cases are brought into earth connection through the earth plate. |
