Abstract
A connector has parts that can be used in common as much as possible in different specifications to reduce cost and to facilitate parts management. In a first specification having a high shielding function, a terminal fitting () connected to a shielded electric wire () is accommodated in a dielectric (). The dielectric () is surrounded by an outer conductor () that is connected to a braided wire (). The second specification requires no shielding function, and thus the outer conductor () is not used. Rather, a sub-housing () having the same shape and size as the outer conductor () of the first specification is used. The sub-housing () is configured to accommodate and retain the terminal fitting () and is locked in a same retained state as in the first specification when accommodated in a common housing () used in both specifications.
