Abstract
A connecting structure for interengaging metallic shielding members is provided, which includes: a contacting elongation (2) at a leading edge of a cylindrical male metallic shielding member (1); a mating contacting elongation (4) at a leading edge of a cylindrical female metallic shielding member (3) which is brought into contact with the male member contacting elongation at the leading edge of the cylindrical male metallic shielding member; and a pair of engaging hook pieces (5) formed to extend circumferentially on the contacting elongation of one of the metallic shielding members to engage with the contacting elongation of the other metallic shielding member, wherein the pair of engaging hook pieces are formed at both sides of a slit (6) provided between the adjacent contacting elongations. The contacting elongation of either of the metallic shielding members is urged toward and into tighter contact with the contacting elongation of the other metallic shielding member by a pressing spring portion (23) provided on a housing (17') of a connector (19).
