Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: a first housing on a side of one object to be connected; a second housing on a side of another object to be connected, the second housing being movable with respect to the first housing and matable with the first housing; a plurality of first terminals which are held by the first housing and are resiliently deformable with movement of the second housing; a first shield member for covering a predetermined outer circumference surface of the first housing and extending in the direction of arrangement of the first terminals; a plurality of second terminals which are held by the second housing, the second terminals being arranged to contact each of the first terminals while the second housing is mated with the first housing; a second shield member for covering a predetermined outer circumference surface of the second housing and extending in the direction of arrangement of the second terminals; and first and second shield conductive portions for electrically connecting the first and second shield members while the second housing is mated with the first housing and resiliently deformable with movement of the second housing, a shield terminal on one of said first and second housings, the shield terminal being integral with the first shield conductive portion in electrical contact with the first shield member and the second shield conductive portion in electric contact with the second shield member, the second shield conductive portion being arranged to electrically and physically contact a mating part of the second shield member of the second housing while the second housing is mated with the first housing, the second shield member being mateable with the first housing.
