1. A shield unit, comprising:
an electrically conductive tubular shell;
a shield member, comprising:
a plurality of first elastic portions made of a conductive material and arranged annularly in a plate shape at an inner circumferential part of the shield member;
a plurality of second elastic portions arranged annularly at an outer circumferential part of the shield member; and
an intermediate portion between the plurality of first elastic portions and the plurality of second elastic portions, wherein
the plurality of first elastic portions are defined by a plurality of first slits each extending from an inner circumferential edge of the shield member in a radial direction of the shield member, and
the plurality of second elastic portions are defined by a plurality of second slits each extending from an outer circumferential edge of the shield member in the radial direction;
the shield member being fitted around the tubular shell such that the plurality of first elastic portions of the shield member are in contact with the tubular shell for electric connection of the shield member with the tubular shell; and
an electrically conductive shield cover with which the plurality of second elastic portions of the shield member are capable of coming into contact.
