Connector and a method for mounting a connector

摘要

A connector (10) has an improved operability by reducing an insertion resistance of a shielding terminal. The connector (10) has a housing (20) and a ground terminal (50). Contact pieces (56) of the ground terminal (50) are movable between a retracted position and a contact position and can be locked at the respective positions. A shielding terminal (15) can be inserted into the housing (20) at the retracted position where the contact pieces (56) and the shielding terminal (15) do not interfere with each other. Thus, an insertion resistance of the shielding terminal (15) can be reduced. Therefore, an assembling operability of the connector (10) can be improved.
