Abstract
In a shielded connector for being connected to a mating connector in a first direction, a metal shell (41) has a shielding portion (51) and a coupling portion (53) whichis formed integral with the shielding portion. The shielding portion covers an insulator (43) to electromagnetically shield contact members which are conductive. The coupling portion is for being mechanically coupled to the mating connector in the first direction. The dontact members are held to the insulator to be arranged in a second direction perpendicularto the first direction. The coupling portion is movable substantially in a third direction perpendicular to said first and said second directions.
