A connector in which it is possible to prevent its contact from being disengaged or displaced from a groove of a contact holding member includes a shielding cover, a plurality of contacts (terminals) arranged inside the shielding cover, and a contact holding member for holding the contacts inside the shielding cover. The contact holding member is formed with a plurality of grooves, and each groove is formed with opposite protruding portions along its longitudinal direction for restricting the movement of the contact in a direction away from a bottom surface of the groove.
