The plug terminal15has a contact portion151in one end and an electric wire connecting terminal153in the other end, and the connector housing2accommodating the plug terminal. In the plug terminal15, the contact portion and the electric wire connecting portion are connected through an elastic spring portion15b, the connector housing2accommodates both the plug terminal15and a gate member10which holds a contact portion of the plug terminal, the contact portion151of the plug terminal is held in the connector housing by the gate member10while the spring is compressed and pushed in, and the hold state is released to project the contact portion of the plug terminal from the connector housing in coupling the electric connector to the mating connector. Therefore, the invention can provide the electric connector enabling it to protect the plug terminal with a simple structure in which the contact portion of the plug terminal is pushed in the connector housing before coupling the electric connector to the mating connector.
