The starter housing (1) comprises an outer (5) and an inner housing (10) which are arranged one inside the other in an assembled state of the starter housing (1), of which the outer housing (5) has a metal layer for electromagnetic screening. The starter housing (1) in addition comprises an inner housing tube (11) at its inner housing (10), which is surrounded in the assembled state by an outer housing tube (8) arranged at the outer housing (5), such that the inner housing tube (11) and the outer housing tube (8) together form a socket (4). Reference elements (13; 14) are provided at the tubes (8; 11) of the two housings (5; 10) such that they co-operate in the assembled state for defining the positions of the two tubes (8; 11) with respect to one another. Furthermore, a method of mounting such a starter housing (1) is disclosed.

    Abstract: A shield connector structure 1 includes a pair of connectors 2 and 6 that is capable of being fitted to each other and a conductive connector attachment portion 11. One connector 2 includes a terminal metal part 21, an insulating connector housing 22, and a conductive shield shell 23. The other connector 6 includes a terminal metal part 61, an insulating connector housing 62, and a conductive shield shell 63. The shield shell 23 is provided with a connection portion 49, and the shield shell 63 is provided with a connection portion 83. When the connectors 2 and 6 are fitted to each other so that the shield shells 23 and 63 are shield-connected to each other, each of the connection portions 49 and 83 is connected to the connector attachment portion 11 and the shield shells 23 and 63 are grounded.
