1. A connector for high-speed transmission, comprising:
a housing with an opening portion into which a communication partner is fitted;
a column of a plurality of contacts comprising at least one contact for ground; and
a metal member separate from the plurality of contacts and disposed in the column of the plurality of contacts, shorting the at least one contact for ground and bent so as to avoid at least one of the plurality of contacts other than the at least one contact for ground,
wherein
each one of the plurality of contacts comprises a contact portion in contact with the communication partner, a first linear portion extending rearward from a rear end of the contact portion, a second linear portion bent and extending from a rear end of the first linear portion, and a terminal portion soldered to an external substrate at a tip end of the second linear portion,
the metal member is disposed to extend across the column of the plurality of contacts, the metal member comprising a bent portion bent in a U-shape across the plurality of contacts other than the at least one contact for ground, and is connected to at least one of the first linear portion and the second linear portion of the at least one contact for ground.
