Claim:
A shield connector comprising: a resin connector housing having a rectangular solid shape including a top-surface, a right-side-surface, a left-side-surface, a back-surface, and an opening; a terminal provided in the connector housing so as to be connected to a connector through the opening in a connector fitting direction; and a metal shield shell slidingly attached to the connector housing and including a top-plate covering the top-surface, a right-side-plate covering the right-side-surface, a left-side-plate covering the left-side-surface, and a rear-plate covering the back-surface, wherein each of the right-side-surface and the left-side-surface includes an engagement portion positioned at the front lower end portion thereof, and each of the right-side-plate and the left-side-plate includes a hook positioned at the front lower end portion thereof and engaged with the engagement portion, wherein, as viewed in said connector fitting direction, said hook has an L-shape including a downwardly extending portion and an outwardly extending portion which respectively abut against two perpendicularly disposed surfaces of the engagement portion to prevent the right-side-plate and the left-side-plate from being deflected outwardly and to prevent the upward movement of the metal shield with respect to the resin connector.
