Claim 15:
16. A connector comprising:
a circuit board that is connected to an outside via a signal wire;
a thermally-conductive fixation material that is arranged on one principal surface of the circuit board;
a first shell in which an insertion portion into which a terminal end portion of the circuit board is inserted is formed on one end, of which the one end is mated with a mating connector in a state in which the terminal end portion of the circuit board protrudes from the one end, and which covers at least a part of a target region which is a region other than the terminal end portion of the circuit board, and is conductive;
a second shell that is connected to another end of the first shell, covers at least a part of the target region in the one principal surface of the circuit board, comes into contact with the fixation material to perform fixation of the circuit board, and is conductive; and
a third shell that is connected to the other end of the first shell, is engaged with the second shell, covers at least a part of the target region in another principal surface of the circuit board, and is conductive, wherein
the first shell, the second shell, and the third shell cover the target region of the circuit board, and
the first shell further includes opposing side ends with which opposing end portions of a latch are rotatably engaged, the latch having a C-shape and being fixable to the mating connector.
