1. A connector comprising:
a contact to be electrically connected to an object to be connected;
a first insulator that holds the contact;
a first shield member that covers the first insulator;
a second shield member that comes into contact with an outer face of the first shield member and has a tubular portion having an opening into which the object to be connected is to be inserted; and
a second insulator arranged on an outer side of the second shield member,
wherein a first communicating portion that is in communication with an outside of the connector is formed in a lower wall of the tubular portion of the second shield member, the lower wall facing the second insulator,
a second communicating portion that is in communication with the outside of the connector and the first communicating portion is formed in the second insulator, and
the first shield member has a facing wall that faces the first communicating portion, and a bent wall that is bent toward the second insulator side from an end portion of the facing wall on an opposite side to the opening.
