ABSTRACT:
A connector consists of a connector plug (100) and a connector jack (200). The connector plug includes a plug shell (130) provided in front of a plug body (120) and having a shell aperture (131); a plug shutter (140) provided in front of the plug shell and having a plug shutter aperture (141); and a return spring (160) for biasing the plug shutter with respect to the plug shell so that the plug shutter aperture is offset from the shell aperture to thereby close the shell aperture with the plug shutter. The connector jack includes a jack shutter (230) provided in front of the jack block (220) and having a jack shutter aperture (231); and a return spring (240) for biasing the jack shutter with respect to the jack block so that the jack shutter aperture is offset from the jack terminal aperture to thereby close the jack terminal aperture with the jack shutter. A moving device (114, 233A, 311, 433) is provided on the connector plug and jack for moving, upon plugging the connector plug into the connector jack, the plug shutter with respect to the plug shell so as to align the plug shutter aperture with the shell aperture while moving the jack shutter with respect to the jack block so as to align the jack shutter aperture with the jack terminal aperture so that the plug terminal passes through these aligned apertures and comes into contact with the jack terminal.
