1. A connector, comprising a first connector and a second connector connectable to each other,
wherein:
the first connector includes a first inner conductor, a first outer conductor for covering an outer periphery of the first inner conductor, a first outer conductor cover for covering an outer periphery of the first outer conductor and a first dielectric arranged between the first inner conductor and the first outer conductor,
the second connector includes a second inner conductor, a second outer conductor for covering an outer periphery of the second inner conductor, a second outer conductor cover for covering an outer periphery of the second outer conductor and a second dielectric arranged between the second inner conductor and the second outer conductor,
the second outer conductor includes a second outer conductor body portion arranged between the second dielectric and the second outer conductor cover and a second outer conductor connecting portion overlapping the first outer conductor in a radial direction,
the first outer conductor includes a first outer conductor body portion arranged between the first dielectric and the first outer conductor cover, a first outer conductor connecting portion for covering the outer periphery of the second outer conductor connecting portion and contacting the second outer conductor connecting portion, and a constricted portion reduced in dimensions from the first outer conductor connecting portion to the first outer conductor body portion,
the first outer conductor cover and the second outer conductor cover have a same shape,
the first dielectric includes a one-side dielectric and an other-side dielectric unitable with each other,
the one-side dielectric includes a base wall, facing surfaces intersecting the base wall and facing each other, and a cavity formed between the facing surfaces facing each other to accommodate the first inner conductor,
the other-side dielectric closes an opening side facing the base wall, and
press-fit projections to be brought into contact with the first inner conductor are formed on the facing surfaces of the one-side dielectric.
