Abstract
An insulator () retains a plurality of conductive signal contacts () arrayed in a first direction (A) for contacting with signal contacts of a counterpart connector, and further retains a conductive ground plate (). The ground plate is arranged so as to be spaced apart from the signal contacts and has a plurality of ground contacts () for contacting with ground contacts of the counterpart connector. These ground contacts are arrayed in the first direction and joined to each other via a joining portion (). A connection piece () extends from a part of the joining portion in the same direction as each of the ground contacts. The connection piece contacts with a conductive shell () formed separately from the ground plate and covering the insulator.
