Abstract

A shielded electrical connector is comprised of a shielded connector component having a shielding shroud integrated with a front flange section. The shielded connector is positionable within an outer shell including hermaphroditic shielding shell members whereby each shielding shell member includes hook members on opposing sides thereof for inter-engagement at the front of the shell members. Fasteners can then be used to retain the shell members together.
