Abstract

A shield connector includes a first housing and a second housing, a first shield shell configured to cover the first housing, and a second shield shell configured to cover the second housing. The first shield shell includes a first connecting portion and the second shield shell includes a second connecting portion. An electrically conductive fastening member electrically connects the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to each other. The first housing includes a first fixing portion, and the second housing includes a second fixing portion. The first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are held together by the fastening member in a state in which the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are interposed between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.
