1. A multiple coaxial connector comprising:
a shell assembly;
a housing; and
a retainer, wherein
the shell assembly includes
a shell that includes a depression and a flange, the depression and the flange going around a circumference of the shell,
a body that is accommodated in the shell,
a contact that is accommodated in the body, and
a coaxial cable that is connected with the shell and the contact,
a plurality of the shell assemblies are provided and the shell assemblies are arranged in N rows in a second direction, the second direction being orthogonal to a first direction that is an extension direction of the shell assembly, and M columns in a third direction, the third direction being orthogonal to both of the first direction and the second direction, and the shell assemblies are fixed to the housing, where N and M are integers that are 2 or greater,
the housing includes
N×M pieces of insertion holes into which respective ends of the shell assemblies are inserted,
an engagement portion that is formed on an inner surface of each of the insertion holes on a position, the position being closer to an obliquely-adjacent insertion hole of the insertion holes, and is engaged with the depression, and
a slit that is formed by cutting the housing in a direction orthogonal to an extension direction of the insertion holes, communicates with the insertion holes, and includes a first groove and a second groove, the first groove and the second groove being formed on an inner surface of the slit, wherein the first groove is a longer distance from a center of the housing than the second groove, and
the retainer includes
a claw that is engaged with the first groove and the second groove when the retainer is inserted into the slit, and
N pieces of concave portions that do not disturb movement of the shell and the flange in the insertion holes in a temporarily-fixed state in which the claw is engaged with the first groove, and of which each side surface abuts on the flange through insertion of the shell assembly in a fixed state in which the claw is engaged with the second groove, wherein
the engagement portion is engaged with the depression in a half-locked state, and
the half-locked state is a state in which a lock between the housing and the shell is released when a specified load is applied in an extraction direction of the shell.
