A housing having terminals held thereon is positioned within a shell in island form. The shell is formed of a single metal plate, and includes a peripheral wall surrounding the housing, bottom plates, a pair of first retaining pieces, and two pairs of second retaining pieces. The first retaining pieces respectively include raised portions to conform to side surfaces of the housing, extension portions positioned on upper surfaces of the housing, and press-fitting portions. The press-fitting portions are press-fit into holes formed in the upper surfaces. Each pair of the second retaining pieces are positioned on the opposite sides of the first retaining piece, and fitted in step portions which are at the opposite ends, in the width direction, of the side surfaces of the housing. The second retaining pieces protrude from the upper surfaces and, in the width direction, protrude from the housing.
