Claim 16:
17. A method for assembling a connector on a coaxial cable having a signal line, a dielectric layer covering the signal line, a shield covering the dielectric layer, and an insulating sheath covering the shield, the method comprising:
bringing the signal line exposed at a first exposing portion formed at a terminal portion of the coaxial cable, into contact with a connection portion of a signal contact conductor held by an insulating housing that includes a first opening and a second opening;
inserting a supporting tool into the second opening to support the connection portion;
inserting a connection tool into the first opening; applying ultrasonic waves for ultrasonic bonding to the signal line in contact with the connection portion;
placing a first housing portion of the insulating housing that holds a contact portion of the signal contact conductor in a fitting portion of a ground contact conductor;
placing a second housing portion of the insulating housing that holds the connection portion outside the fitting portion;
externally holding a second exposing portion of the coaxial cable adjacent to the first exposing portion, by a clamp portion of the ground contact conductor so that the clamp portion contacts the shield exposed at the second exposing portion, without the ground contact conductor overlapping an outer peripheral surface of the insulating sheath, wherein the fitting portion and the clamp portion are integrally formed from a single metal plate of the ground contact conductor; and
holding the second housing portion of the insulating housing and a part of the second exposing portion by a barrel portion of the ground contact conductor between the fitting portion and the clamp portion,
wherein the barrel portion includes a barrel base and a barrel arm configured to sandwich the insulating housing between the barrel base and the barrel arm,
wherein a height of the insulating housing located between the barrel base and the barrel arm is smaller than an outer diameter of the second exposing portion,
wherein the ground contact conductor includes a holding claw portion projecting from the barrel arm toward the barrel base to press the shield against the dielectric layer,
wherein the ultrasonic waves are applied by the connection tool, and
wherein the signal line contacts the connection portion between the connection tool and the supporting tool.
