A shielded connector comprising: a connector housing including, on a housing end surface thereof, a ferrule insertion hole into which a ferrule supported in a ferrule housing is insertable, and a plurality of external connector coupling portions (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) to which external connectors having conductive metal connecting terminals therein are fittable, and an insertion hole peripheral surface being a portion of the housing end surface along a periphery of the ferrule insertion hole; a shielding case made of a conductive metal plate, the shielding case covering the connector housing on a side of the housing end surface to electromagnetically shield the housing end surface while allowing the ferrule housing and the external connectors to be fitted, and a wall (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d), said wall being formed to protrude from the insertion hole peripheral surface along the fitting direction of the ferrule housing, characterized in that the connector housing includes a ferrule housing receiving portion (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) provided on the wall (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) to protrude to a location in front of the insertion hole peripheral surface with respect to a fitting direction of the ferrule housing, so as to contact a distal end surface of the ferrule housing to position the ferrule housing in the fitting direction, and the shielding case further comprises a peripheral surface shielding portion that covers the insertion hole peripheral surface, and a notch (26a, 26b, 26c, 26d) is provided in the peripheral surface shielding portion so as to allow the ferrule housing receiving portion (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) to pass through and to avoid a contact between the ferrule housing receiving portion (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) and the peripheral surface shielding portion when placing the peripheral surface shielding portion over the insertion hole peripheral surface. a connector housing including, on a housing end surface thereof, a ferrule insertion hole into which a ferrule supported in a ferrule housing is insertable, and a plurality of external connector coupling portions (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d) to which external connectors having conductive metal connecting terminals therein are fittable, and an insertion hole peripheral surface being a portion of the housing end surface along a periphery of the ferrule insertion hole; a shielding case made of a conductive metal plate, the shielding case covering the connector housing on a side of the housing end surface to electromagnetically shield the housing end surface while allowing the ferrule housing and the external connectors to be fitted, and a wall (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d), said wall being formed to protrude from the insertion hole peripheral surface along the fitting direction of the ferrule housing, characterized in that the connector housing includes a ferrule housing receiving portion (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) provided on the wall (16a, 16b, 16c, 16d) to protrude to a location in front of the insertion hole peripheral surface with respect to a fitting direction of the ferrule housing, so as to contact a distal end surface of the ferrule housing to position the ferrule housing in the fitting direction, and the shielding case further comprises a peripheral surface shielding portion that covers the insertion hole peripheral surface, and a notch (26a, 26b, 26c, 26d) is provided in the peripheral surface shielding portion so as to allow the ferrule housing receiving portion (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) to pass through and to avoid a contact between the ferrule housing receiving portion (14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) and the peripheral surface shielding portion when placing the peripheral surface shielding portion over the insertion hole peripheral surface.
