Abstract: There is disclosed a shield structure for a pair of electric connectors each of which includes an insulating housing with a contact disposed therein, and a conductive shield case surrounding the insulating housing, and the connectors being snugly fitted to each other. In the shield structure, an earth plate is disposed on at least one side wall of the insulating housing of one of the electric connectors. A part of the earth plate is held in touch with the conductive shield case in a manner such that it is held between the conductive shield case and the insulating housing, and another part of the earth plate lies above the side wall of the insulating housing and is exposed outside the conductive shield case. When the one electric connector and the other electric connector are snugly fitted, the conductive shield case of the other electric connector touches the other part of the earth plate, whereby both the conductive shield cases are brought into earth connection through the earth plate.

Abstract: There is disclosed a connecting and engaging fixture for an electric connector having an insulating housing proper in which a contact is disposed and which is snugly fitted with an insulating housing proper of a mating electric connector, and a cable restraint plate which is assembled to the insulating housing proper and which serves to fix a cable end part to be spliced to the contact.

Abstract: An electric connector comprises a nonconductive connector body having contacts arranged therein and adapted to be coupled to a mating conductive connector shell, a nonconductive cover case having at one end thereof an opening for receiving a shielded cable, onto the other end of which cover case the nonconductive connector body can be put, and a conductive shielding case and a shielded cable clamp member which can be disposed in the cover case. The shielded cable clamp member can be made electrical contact with the shielding wire of the shielded cable and then placed in a clamp member receiving cavity formed near the opening of the cover case. One end of the conductive shielding case is adapted to make contact with the shielded cable clamp member placed in the clamp member receiving cavity, and the other end of the conductive shielding case is shaped so as to enclose the nonconductive connector body put onto the cover case.
