Abstract
To provide a connector with an electromagnetic shield capable of easily providing an electromagnetic shield layer on the surface of a connector housing with a homogeneous thickness even in the case the connector housing has a complicated structure with many projections and recesses so as to obtain the excellent electromagnetic shield effect without increase of the number of the connector components or increase of the weight, and a manufacturing method and an apparatus therefor. An electromagnetic shield layer is formed on the surface of a connector housing made from a graphitizable material having the insulation property, by graphitization of the material by irradiating the surface of the connector housing with a laser beam in an inert gas atmosphere.
