A connector includes a housing, an outer shield fixed to the housing and including a tubular portion, and a terminal held by the housing and surrounded by the tubular portion of the outer shield. The tubular portion has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end and the second end of the tubular portion open. The tubular portion surrounds a hollow space. The connector is configured to be connected to a mating connector by moving toward the mating connector in a predetermined direction relatively with respect to the mating connector. The first end of the tubular portion of the outer shield is located in the predetermined direction in the tubular portion. The tubular portion of the outer shield has an inner circumferential surface facing the hollow space, an outer circumferential surface opposite to the inner circumferential surface, and a distal end surface provided at the first end. At least one of the distal end surface, the outer circumferential surface, and the inner circumferential surface is seamless over an entire circumference of the tubular portion surrounding the hollow space along a circumferential direction of the tubular portion.
