Original Abstract Submitted
A connector includes an inner conductor, a die-cast outer conductor that surrounds the outer periphery of the inner conductor, a housing to which the die-cast outer conductor is fitted, and a contacting member that is to be in electric contact with an external grounding member and the die-cast outer conductor. When a side on which a partner housing is to be fitted into the housing is taken as a front side, the contacting member includes a sandwiched portion that is sandwiched between a front-facing opposed surface of the die-cast outer conductor that faces forward and a back-facing opposed surface of the housing that faces backward, a fulcrum portion that is continuous with the front side of the sandwiched portion, and an elastic contacting portion capable of being elastically deformed that extends forward from the front side of the fulcrum portion and comes into contact with the grounding member.
