An electrical shielding arrangement is provided for interconnected printed circuit boards through an electrical connector (e.g. edge connector). One of the boards has the edge connector secured to it and includes a metal ground plane and a plated through hole which extends through the board and which makes effective contact with the metal ground plane. The plated through hole receives as a press fit therein a metal fixing pin or stud of compliant metal which extends from the base of the connector body and the top end of which is positioned for making electrical contact with a metal ground plane included in a printed circuit board the edge of which is received by a cavity provided in the connector body. The connector has spring contacts which make electrical contact with contact pads or the like at or near the edge of the inserted board.
