1. A shield connector, comprising:
a dielectric for accommodating an inner conductor;
an outer conductor having a tubular shape surrounding the dielectric;
a resilient contact portion formed in the outer conductor;
a supporting portion formed out of the outer conductor and configured to support the resilient contact portion; and
a cut portion formed in the outer conductor and configured to enable the supporting portion to be resiliently deformed,
wherein:
the supporting portion is in the form of a rectangular tube having four plate portions in the form of flat plates,
the cut portion is in the form of a slit formed by cutting a boundary between the plate portions perpendicular and adjacent to each other,
the resilient contact portion is formed in at least one of the plate portions and projects outwardly of the supporting portion, and
the supporting portion is resiliently deformed as the resilient contact portion is resiliently deformed.
