Claim Text:
1. A connector having a receiving portion which receives a connection member inserted rearward in a front-rear direction, wherein: the connection member has a plate-like or sheet-like shape and has terminals and a ground pattern; the connector comprises a plurality of contacts, a holding member and a conductive member; the contacts have contact points, respectively; the contact points are to be in contact with the terminals, respectively; the holding member holds the contacts; the conductive member is attached to the holding member; the conductive member has a shield connection portion which is to be in contact with the ground pattern; the shield connection portion is positioned frontward of the contact points of the contacts in the front-rear direction and is positioned outward of the contact points in a width direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction; the connector comprises a shell; the shell is made of a conductor and covers, at least in part, the holding member; the shell functions as the conductive member; the shield connection portion is formed as a part of the shell; the connector further comprises an actuator; the actuator is supported by the holding member so that the actuator selectively takes an open state or a close state; and when the actuator is turned rearward, the actuator takes the close state while the actuator causes the contact points of the contacts to be connected with the terminals of the connection member, respectively; and a shield member is made of a metal and is embedded in the actuator.
