A connector comprises two holding members, two terminal rows, a midplate and a shell. Each of the holding members is lightly press-fit into the shell. Each of the terminal rows has a plurality of terminals. The terminals of each of the terminal rows include a specific terminal. The specific terminal has an exposed portion. The exposed portion is, at least in part, exposed from the holding member in an up-down direction perpendicular to a pitch direction. The midplate has a receiving portion. The exposed portion is brought into contact with the receiving portion. One of the holding member and the shell is formed with at least one light press-fit portion. A position of the at least one light press-fit portion overlaps with a position of the exposed portion in a front-rear direction perpendicular to both the up-down direction and the pitch direction.
