Claim 0:
1. A coupling structure, comprising:
a connector; and
a mating connector fixed to a conductive casing,
wherein:
the connector includes a plurality of shielded cables each having a conductive core and a conductive shield member, a housing made of resin, the plurality of shielded cables being held in the housing while being partially inserted, a shield terminal provided between the plurality of shielded cables in the housing and connected to the shield members of the plurality of shielded cables, and an electromagnetic shielding shell for covering an outer surface of the housing,
the mating connector includes a ground terminal to be conductive to the conductive casing and a plurality of non-ground terminals,
the cores of the plurality of shielded cables of the connector are respectively connected to the plurality of non-ground terminals of the mating connector and the shield terminal of the connector is connected to the ground terminal of the mating connector when the housing of the connector is connected to the mating connector,
the electromagnetic shielding shell of the connector is configured to directly contact and be conductive to an outer surface of the conductive casing when the housing of the connector is connected to the mating connector, and
the shield terminal of the connector and the ground terminal of the mating connector are configured to cause the shield members of the plurality of shielded cables to be conductive to a non-outer surface of the conductive casing different from the outer surface when the housing of the connector is connected to the mating connector.
