Abstract
It is aimed to prevent the rattling of a shield terminal in a housing. A shield connector is provided with a shield terminal (20) configured such that an inner conductor (21) and a dielectric (23) are surrounded by an outer conductor (24), and a housing (10) for accommodating the shield terminal (20). The housing (10) includes a receptacle (16) for surrounding a front end part of the shield terminal (20) while being spaced apart therefrom. The housing (10) is formed with a tubular holding portion (18) for holding an outer peripheral part of the front end part of the shield terminal (20) in the receptacle (16).
