A connector consists of a connector plug (100) and a connector jack (200). The connector plug includes a plug body (120); a plug terminal (1) extending forwardly from the plug body; a plug shell (130) provided in front of the plug body and having a shell aperture (131) for allowing the plug terminal to pass therethrough; a plug shutter (140) provided in front of the plug shell and having a plug shutter aperture (141) for allowing the plug terminal to pass therethrough; 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 under unplugged conditions. The connector jack (200) includes a jack block (220) having a terminal aperture (221); a jack terminal (2) provided in the terminal aperture; a jack shutter (230) provided in front of the jack block and having a jack shutter aperture (231) for allowing the plug terminal to pass therethrough; 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 under unplugged conditions. 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.
