According to an embodiment, a high-speed transmission connector includes: a row of first contacts, a row of second contacts, a row of third contacts, a row of fourth contacts, an upper housing that supports the row of first contacts, a lower housing that supports the row of second contacts, and an inner housing that supports the row of third contacts and the row of fourth contacts. The upper housing, the lower housing, and the inner housing are assembled in such a manner that the upper housing and the lower housing face each other in a vertical direction with a gap therebetween, and the inner housing is accommodated in the upper housing and the lower housing. The gap forms a slot into which a header of a device as a communicating counterpart is to be fitted.

An electrical plug connector includes a metallic shell, an insulated member, plug terminals, and grounding members. The insulated member is in the metallic shell. The plug terminals are held in the insulated member. The grounding members and the insulated member are molded as a one-piece member, thereby reducing the production steps as well as reducing production of defect products. Moreover, the first curved contact portion extends toward the metallic shell and effectively contacts the metallic shell, and the second curved contact portion extends toward the ground terminal and effectively contacts the ground terminal.

Provided is a connector module that is highly durable and that also allows easy position alignment with a connection target instrument while maintaining high shielding performance. The connector module includes a connector case and a connector inserted in the connector case. The connector includes a contact, a holder, a conductive tubular shell, a housing and a conductive shield case. The shield case includes a first member having an elastic portion and a second member in the form of a bottomed tube. The first member forms an elastic piece contactable with the second member. Fixing of the connector case to a main body case via a fastener member causes, in the connector, elastic deformation of the elastic piece, resulting in decrease in a gap between the first member and the second member, consequently in establishment of electrical connection between the first member and the second member.
