Abstract
A male connector (10) has a male terminal fitting (20) mounted in a male housing (10A). The male housing (10A) has tube (11) surrounding the male terminal fitting (20). The tube (11) is spaced out from a conductive part (23) of the male terminal fitting (20) by a distance so that a finger cannot be inserted between the tube (11) and the male terminal fitting (20). A fit-on part (31) of a female connector (30) can be inserted between the tube (11) and the male terminal fitting (20) so that a female terminal fitting (34) can contact the conductive part (23) of the male terminal fitting (20). An insulating coating (26) is formed on a front end of the male terminal fitting (20) by molding a resin to prevent shocks.
