A shield wire, having a shield mesh whose front end portion is folded back, is inserted into a shield contact member from a rear side thereof, so that the shield mesh is fitted in a wire fixing portion, and is fixed thereto at a spiral groove portion. Then, a terminal is fixedly secured to a front end of the shield wire, and the terminal is inserted into an electrically-conductive, hollow cylindrical shell, mounted within a housing, through an open, exposed rear end of the shell, so that a shell contact portion of the shield contact member is held against the rear end, and in this condition the shield wire is fixed to the housing.
