Abstract: A shielded electrical connector in which the shield cover is formed as two U-shaped parts, each of which includes an integral clamping portion for clamping with a shielded connector. The clamping portions are connected to the cover parts by leg portions. An insulator containing electrical contacts is sandwiched between the cover parts after the cable is attached to the contacts. The cover parts are compressed together, following which the clamp portions are clamped about the cable to provide electrical connection between the cable and the shield cover.
