In order to prevent terminal fittings of a card edge connector from short circuiting, a housing 11 is provided with a short circuit preventing member 50 made from insulating material. This short circuit preventing member 50 can be moved between a short circuit preventing position, between resilient contacts 42 of terminal fittings 40 provided at mutually opposing upper and lower locations, and a retreated position, which is to the posterior of the short circuit preventing position. Since the upper and lower terminal fittings 40 are prevented from short circuiting when the short circuit preventing member 50 is in the short circuit preventing position, the resilient contacts 42 are bendable to a greater degree, thus increasing their contacting force with contacts of a card edge connector.
