With this connector (), a housing () has a concave container () that accommodates an inserted camera module () in which a plurality of pads are disposed its bottom face. A contact () has: an arm () that projects from the bottom face of the container () to the interior of the container () and that elastically deforms; and, at the tip of the arm (), a contact point part () that is swingable in the insertion direction of the camera module () by means of elastic deformation of the arm () and that contacts a pad. A shield cover () is attached to the housing () detachably covering the accommodating part () and abuts on an upper face () of the camera module () urged in a direction opposite to the insertion direction by the arms () of the contacts (), to sandwich the camera module () in combination with the contacts ().
