The housing includes a housing body portion for holding the fixed portions and a housing fitting portion for arranging the terminals. The shielding member includes a first shielding member and a second shielding member. The first shielding member includes a shield fitting portion for covering the housing fitting portion; a first shield body portion for covering the housing body portion; and a connection portion. The shield fitting portion has a hole portion. The second shielding member includes a second shield body portion for covering the housing body portion and an extending portion extending from the second shield body portion toward the shield fitting portion. The extending portion has a protruding portion inserted into the hole portion.
