1. A shield connector, comprising:
a male connector including a male inner conductor, a male dielectric and a male outer conductor; and
a female connector including a female inner conductor, a female dielectric, an impedance adjusting portion and a female outer conductor, wherein:
a male connection surface of the male dielectric and a female connection surface of the female dielectric are facing each other and an elongated tab of the male inner conductor projects from the male connection surface and is inserted in the female inner conductor with the male connector and the female connector connected,
a thin portion shaped by cutting an outer surface of the male dielectric and configured to surround a base end portion of the tab is formed on an end part of the male dielectric on the side of the male connection surface,
at least one of the female outer conductor and the male outer conductor is formed with the impedance adjusting portion configured to cover an outer surface of the thin portion while being proximate to or in contact with the outer surface of the thin portion,
the impedance adjusting portion is formed on an end part of the female outer conductor on the side of the female connection surface, and
the female outer conductor is accommodated inside the male outer conductor with the male connector and the female connector connected, and the impedance adjusting portion is inclined inwardly to approach the tab toward the side of the male connector.
