Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetically shielded connector where a shielding metal shell is molded together with an insulating housing in which terminals are housed. The metal shell is formed with a resilient contact integrally continuous therewith. The insulating housing is formed with two opposing guide grooves on an exterior thereof between which the resilient contact projects outwardly of the insulating housing. The opposing guide grooves receive a fastening bracket electrically connected to ground, thereby the insulating housing being fixed and the shielding metal shell being connected to ground via said resilient contact and said fastening bracket.
