1. A shield connector comprising:
an inner conductor;
an outer conductor surrounding the inner conductor; and
a dielectric disposed between the inner conductor and the outer conductor, wherein
the outer conductor includes a first outer conductor and a second outer conductor assembled to each other,
the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor are each a die-cast conductive rigid body,
the first outer conductor includes a fitting receiving portion, and the second outer conductor includes a fitting portion fit in the fitting receiving portion in a direction of assembly to the first outer conductor,
one of an inner surface of the fitting receiving portion and an outer surface of the fitting portion is formed with a recessed portion recessed in a width direction intersecting the direction of assembly, and another one of the inner surface and the outer surface is formed with a protruding portion that protrudes in the width direction and fits in the recessed portion, the protruding portion being substantially incapable of elastic deformation, and
the inner surface of the recessed portion and the outer surface of the protruding portion include contact surface portions that come into contact with each other to prevent displacement of the first outer conductor and the second outer conductor in a direction opposite to the direction of assembly.
