A connector is provided with a plurality of terminal fittings (40), a shorting terminal (10) for shorting corresponding terminal fittings (40), and a housing (50) for accommodating the terminal fittings (40) and the shorting terminal (10). The shorting terminal (10) includes a contact piece (17) formed by bending and pushed at the time of insertion into the housing (50) and a support (21) formed by bending and held in contact with the contact piece (17) from a side opposite to a push-in direction into the housing (50). When a jig for pushing the shorting terminal (10) is pressed against a pushable surface (19) of the contact piece (17), the contact piece (17) can be prevented from being inclined in the push-in direction to be deformed by being supported by the support (21).
