Abstract
A shielded connector is for connecting a first board to a second board, such as printed circuit boards or the like. The shielded connector includes a first connector housing for being installed on the first board and includes first electrical contacts therein which are for being electrically connected to the first board. A second connector housing is for being installed on the second board and includes second electric contacts therein which are for being electrically connected to the second board. The first and second connector housings mate to cause the first and second electric contacts to mate. First shielding for the first electrical connector housing and the first electric contacts therein include a first shielding device at one side and a second shielding device at the other side of the first connector housing. The first and second shielding devices are respectively electrically connected to the first board. Second shielding for the second connector housing and the second electric contacts therein include a third shielding device at one side and a fourth shielding device at the other side of the second connector housing. The third and fourth shielding devices are respectively electrically connected to the second board. The first shielding device is in overlapping electrical contact with the third shielding device and the second shielding device is in overlapping electrical contact with the fourth shielding device when the first and second connector housings are mated for causing the first electric contacts to mate with the second electric contacts.
