Abstract
A connector is provided that eliminates a conductive portion and is free from mechanical contact at its coupling portion. A pair of holders is provided with an interface unit and cables extending outwardly are connected to one part of the interface unit, and radio wave-electric signal mutual converting elements built in the holders are connected to the other part of the interface unit. The pair of holders is allowed to be coupled in proximity by means of a coupling mechanism made from a flexible electromagnetic field shielding material, and a radio wave propagation space is formed at the coupling proximity portion of a pair of the holders which is shut out from the electromagnetic field of the outside. The radio wave-electric signal mutual converting elements of a pair of the holders conduct the reception and transmission of the radio wave mutually by being opposed in proximity by means of the radio wave propagation space.
