Abstract

To make the fitting of a pair of connectors smooth and keep an insulation distance between a terminal and a metal shell large and thus improve the fitting characteristics and the reliability of a shielded connector, a rib projects over the end surface of one of a male or a female connector so that the rib lies between a metal shell projecting over the end of the male connector and a male terminal projecting over the end surface. A groove corresponds to the rib and is formed in the top end surface of the other of the male and female connectors.
