It is intended to enhance elastic force of an arm and reduce a plate material necessary for forming the arm to effectively use a resource. Provided is a connector fittable to a partner connector, the connector including an insulating housing, a contact, and a conductive shell. The shell includes at least a metal shell formed from a single metal plate. The metal shell includes a cover portion configured to cover at least part of a side portion outer peripheral surface of the housing, an elastic arm having a free end on the side of fitting to the partner connector, and a support portion coupled to a lateral side of the elastic arm to elastically connect the cover portion and the elastic arm and configured to support the elastic arm in a cantilever manner. The cover portion and the elastic arm have substantially opposing surfaces. The elastic arm has a lock portion configured to lock fitting between the connector and the partner connector at a position closer to a free end side than the support portion.
