Claim:
1. A connector wherein the connector has: a cover portion into which one end of a cable is inserted, and which is made of an insulating synthetic resin; a plug portion, which is supported in a state where the plug portion is projected from a tip end of the cover portion, which is to be inserted into a mating connector, and which includes: an insulator; a plurality of contact terminals that are supported by the insulator; and a metal shell, which covers an outer circumference side of the insulator, a printed circuit board, which is placed in the cover portion, and on which a thermal protection circuit is mounted, the thermal protection circuit includes: an FET, which is inserted in a power supply line of the printed circuit board; and a temperature switch that detects a temperature, and which, when the detected temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature, outputs an abnormal heating signal for causing the FET to cut off the power supply line, and the connector further includes a metal bonding member, said metal bonding member being formed integrally or integrated with the metal shell and thermally couples the metal shell to the temperature switch; wherein the metal bonding member, other than a front end portion, is covered by a bag shaped insulator secured by single-sided adhesive tape.
