(54) Shielded connector


(57) A shielded connector is formed by cover members (18, 20) normally molded of insulative material selectively plated with conductive material (32) to form a shield. The members (18, 20) include interfitting peripherial flanges (30), which are plated, so that no gaps, which would act as slot antennae, are formed. The plating (32) will also serve as a direct contact with the shielding (16) of shielded cable (14). Selectively plating the members (18, 20) allows for an unplated exterior thereby avoiding the possibility of an operator being shocked by stray ground currents.
