In order to enable a connector housing and a shield shell to be assembled to each other with a small insertion force and the connector housing and the shield shell to be latched with a strong holding force, the latching structure adopted herein for a shielded connector (1) is configured such that: flexible latching arms (17) with outward facing protrusions (18) are formed on an insulated connector housing (5); latch-receiving sections (10) for the protrusions to latch onto are formed on a conductive shield shell (4) externally fit over the connector housing; bending of the latching arms in the latch-releasing directions when the protrusions are half-latched to the latching sections is prevented; and, when the shield shell is being externally fit over the connector housing, the protrusions are press-fit along the inner face (8c) of the shield shell while the latching arms are being bent. Stopper protrusions (19), which contact the inner faces (17b) of the latching arms (17) in the bending-direction, are formed on an outer face (15) of the connector housing (5) so as to face the inner faces (17b).
