1. A wearable cardioverter defibrillator (WCD) system, comprising:
a WCD monitor having a receptacle, the WCD monitor configured to deliver high voltage (HV) signals and receive low voltage (LV) signals, wherein the HV signals comprise a defibrillating electrical shock for delivery to a person and the LV signals comprise electrocardiogram (ECG) signals received from the person;
a first mating shield disposed within the receptacle; and
a WCD connector comprising a plurality of HV pins and LV pins, the WCD connector further having a second mating shield disposed around the plurality of HV pins and LV pins, the second mating shield configured to mate with the first mating shield, wherein the mated first and second mating shields are configured to substantially shield the HV signals and the LV signals from electrical noise.
