1. A connector to be connected to an end part of such a shielded cable that an outer periphery of a coated wire including a core and an insulation coating surrounding an outer periphery of the core is surrounded by a shield portion, comprising:
an inner conductor to be connected to the core;
an insulating dielectric configured to surround the inner conductor;
a first outer conductor including a tubular portion configured to surround an entirety of an outer periphery of the dielectric, a connection plate portion to be overlapped on the shield portion and a first coupling portion coupling the tubular portion and the connection plate portion; and
a second outer conductor including a shield crimping portion to be crimped to the shield portion and the connection plate portion from outside the shield portion and the connection plate portion, a tube crimping portion to be crimped to an entirety of an outer periphery of the tubular portion from outside the tubular portion and a second coupling portion coupling the shield crimping portion and the tube crimping portion,
wherein:
the first coupling portion has a curved surface shape convex in one direction intersecting a longitudinal direction of the shielded cable when viewed from a side of the shield portion along the longitudinal direction,
the second coupling portion has a curved surface shape convex in a direction opposite to the one direction when viewed from the side of the shield portion along the longitudinal direction, and
the outer periphery of the core is surrounded by the first and second coupling portions with a part of the second coupling portion near an end part in the one direction overlapped on a part of the first coupling portion near an end part in the opposite direction from outside in a radial direction of the shielded cable.
