Claim:
A shield connector to be mounted onto a conductive mounting member formed with a shaft hole, comprising: a housing including a terminal mounting portion and a mounting flange, an accommodating portion and protection walls formed in a rear surface of the mounting flange; at least one terminal mounted in the terminal mounting portion; and a conductive shield shell including a substantially tubular shell main body for at least partly surrounding a terminal portion of the terminal and at least one resilient contact piece for resiliently contacting a surface of the shaft hole of the mounting member to ground the shell main body to the mounting member, the resilient contact piece being cantilevered from the shell main body and folded to extend forward and defining a deformation space between itself and the shell main body, the resilient contact piece including a leading end at least partly accommodated in the accommodating portion of the mounting flange, and sides of the resilient contact piece being disposed between two of the protection walls of the housing.
