Connector with heat dissipation member

A connector comprising:

• a terminal fitting;
• an insulating housing having a terminal accommodation chamber in which the terminal fitting is accommodated, and attached to a casing of an installation target device;
• and
• an insulating heat dissipation member that takes heat from the terminal fitting and dissipates the heat, wherein
• the heat dissipation member includes a heat absorbing portion that comes into contact with the terminal fitting in the terminal accommodation chamber and takes heat from the terminal fitting, and a heat transfer portion that transfers the heat taken by the heat absorbing portion to a heat transfer target portion outside the terminal accommodation chamber, and
• the housing includes a fitting portion that has part of the terminal accommodation chamber inside the fitting portion and is disposed in a state of projecting from a wall face of the casing, and to which a counterpart fitting portion of a counterpart housing is fitted, and a flange portion that brings a first annular face in an axial direction into contact with the wall face of the casing and in which part of the terminal accommodation chamber is disposed,
• the heat transfer target portion is part of a metal shield shell including a tubular shield portion that accommodates the fitting portion, a shield flange portion that holds the flange portion between the shield flange portion and the wall face of the casing from a second annular face in the axial direction, the second annular face being opposite to the first annular face, and a fixing portion that fixes the shield flange portion to the casing, and
• a heat transfer chamber that accommodates the heat transfer portion with the heat transfer portion coming into contact with the shield flange portion is formed between the flange portion and the shield flange portion.
