1. A shield connector comprising:
a cylindrical housing that accommodates a terminal and holds the terminal;
an annular seal member that seals between an outer peripheral surface of an electric wire connected to the terminal and an inner wall surface of the housing;
a holder coupled to the housing along an axial direction of the housing to support the seal member; and
a conductive shell into which the housing and the holder coupled to each other are inserted along the axial direction, wherein
the shell has a protruding portion protruding inward from an inner wall surface of the shell,
the holder has an engagement piece extending along the axial direction, and is locked by the shell by engaging the engagement piece with the protruding portion,
the protruding portion has a locking surface that locks the engagement piece if a force acts on the holder in a direction that is opposite to an insertion direction in which the holder is inserted into the shell, and
the locking surface is a surface facing the insertion direction, and is an inclined surface toward the insertion direction as the locking surface extends toward a tip of the protruding portion in a protruding direction.
