Abstract: A connector which permits the resistance against the deformation of a shield to be increased and a method of manufacturing the connector. The shield is made up of an inner shield member disposed on the inner surface side of the shield and anouter shield member disposed on the outer surface side and, therefore, the strength of the shield can be increased by the double structure of the shield members. As a result of this, the shield is not deformed easily even in the case where an excessive external force is applied to the shield in the vertical direction or in the horizontal direction, for example, in inserting and extracting a mating connector into and out of the shield.
