In a conductive path, a terminal portion is integrally formed at an end of the metallic conductor to be connected to the mating terminal. A metallic pipe accommodates the metallic conductor. A tubular-shaped insulating tube is provided between the metallic conductor and the metallic pipe. A bracket conductively connects the metallic pipe to the shielding shell of the apparatus side. The number of parts of the conductive path of the invention is less than that of the conductive path which has a terminal portion separately formed from the metallic conductor and connecting to a terminal portion of the apparatus side.
