The present invention relates to a connector (1). The connector (1) is provided with: an electrically conductive shell (3) which covers the signal wire of a communication cable (2); a clip (4) which is formed by punching a plate; and a frame body (7) which covers both the electrically conductive shell (3) is grounded to the ground wire of a printed circuit board (100), and the frame body (7) is grounded to the frame of the housing box of a device. A tab (15) which is formed so as to be capable of being cut off is formed on the clip (4). The tab (15) is formed so as to electrically connect the electrically conductive shell (3) and the frame body (7) by coming into contact with the frame body (7) during the assembling of the connector (1). When the tab (15) of the clip (4) is cut off during the assembling of the connector (1), the electrical connection between the electrically conductive shell (3) and the frame body (7) is interrupted. In the connector (1), the mode of grounding connection to the printed circuit board (100) and the mode of grounding connection to the frame can be freely designed by cutting off the tab (15) of the clip (4). |
