Connecting structure for interengaging metallic shielding members

A connecting structure for interengaging metallic shielding members, comprising:

• a connector including a housing and being equipped with a male metallic shielding member accommodated in said housing;
• a mating connector including a mating housing and being equipped with a female metallic shielding member accommodated in said mating housing, said mating connector being engaged with said connector;
• a male contacting elongation formed at a front end portion of said male metallic shielding member;
• a female contacting elongation formed at a front end portion of said female metallic shielding member, said female contacting elongation being brought into contact with said male contacting elongation;
• and
• a pressing spring portion, provided integrally on said mating housing and protruding toward a diagonally forward direction from an inner wall thereof, which urges the female contacting elongation toward and into tighter contact with the male contacting elongation.

A connecting structure for interengaging metallic shielding members comprising:

• a contacting elongation formed at a front end portion of a cylindrical male metallic shielding member;
• a mating contacting elongation formed at a front end portion of a cylindrical female metallic shielding member, said mating contacting elongation being brought into contact with said male member contacting elongation;
• and
• a pair of engaging hook pieces formed to extend circumferentially at both sides of a slit provided between said adjacent contacting elongations to directly engage with longitudinal edges of said contacting elongation of the other metallic shielding member.
