Abstract

It is difficult to insert shield members into spaces between signal terminals when the dimension of the spaces becomes small for the requirement of multi-signal, high-density mounting. [Measures for Solution] The signal terminals 21 and the ground terminal leads 22 are made by punching a metal plate and integrally molding them with the mold 23. The first and second contact portions 22a and 22b are provided on the ground terminal lead 22. The cavity 26 and the terminal apertures 27 are provided in the face of the mold 23. The first contact portions 22a project from the cavity 26 to the outside of the face and the second contact portions 22b project from the terminal apertures 27 to the outside of the face so that the first and second contact portions 22a and 22b are brought into contact with the vertical shield members 30 to make ground terminals. contact portions projects to said outside of said face so that said one and said other of said pair of contact portions are brought into contact with said shield member.
