Herein is an electrical connector with an inner conductor extending in the mating direction, a main body portion extending in the mating direction to accommodate one end of the inner conductor and to which a coaxial cable is attached, and a mating portion extending in the mating direction to accommodate the other end of the inner conductor and mates with a counterpart connector. An accommodating space in the main body portion accommodates one end of the inner conductor. An attachment aperture communicates with the accommodating space by extending in the lateral direction perpendicular to the mating direction and attaches the coaxial cable to the main body portion to connect its center conductor to one end of the inner conductor. The attachment aperture of the main body portion includes a tapered portion decreasing in diameter toward the accommodating space at the end proximal to the accommodating space.
