Abstract
In a typical connector, without closing up a clearance between connectors sufficiently upon fitting with a partner connector, a problem such as significant lowering of high-frequency characteristics due to backlash is caused upon high-speed electric signal transfer. A connector is provided, which includes multiple terminals, an insulator holding the multiple terminals, and an outer conductor shell housing the insulator. In the connector, an inclined portion raised from a side wall of the outer conductor shell is provided at a side wall portion which is to contact an edge portion of a fitting recessed portion of a partner connector. Thus, when a fitting portion on a tip end side of the outer conductor shell of the connector is fitted in the fitting recessed portion of the partner connector, an edge portion of an opening of the fitting recessed portion of the partner connector is pressed by the inclined portion provided at the side wall of the fitting portion of the connector, and a side wall of a lock protrusion is pressed against an inner wall of a lock hole. Thus, the clearance can be suppressed.
