Abstract
The male connector 1 has a metal shielding shell 4 that accommodates a housing 2 and a synthetic resin enclosure 8 that covers approximately the rear half of this shielding shell 4. Fastening parts 40 and protruding parts 42 are formed by stamping in the upper-side shell half-body 4a. A metal latching arm 44 which is formed with the approximate shape of a shallow inverted V, and which has an engaging part 54, is disposed between these fastening parts 40 and protruding parts 42. The latching arm 44 can be pressed by means of a finger-catch part 68. This configuration obtains the desired shielding performance while maintaining a compact size in a shielded electrical connector assembly.
