Abstract
A shielding terminal (15) is accommodated in a cavity (21) of a housing (20) in a connector (10) and is doubly locked by a lock (25) of the housing (20) and by a ground terminal (50). A recess (16D) is formed in a shielding shell (16) of the shielding terminal (15) during the formation of a locking claw (16B) for locking a dielectric element. The recess (16D) is narrower than the lock (25). Hence, the lock (25) neither enters nor gets caught by the recess (16D) during insertion of the shielding terminal (15) into the cavity (21). Therefore, an insertion resistance of the shielding terminal (15) can be reduced.
