A chamber capable of housing a short-circuiting terminal is provided in a female housing. An opening is formed on the front of the chamber, the base face thereof having a recessed opening. A relatively thick short-circuit canceling member of a male housing is inserted from the front opening into the chamber, whereupon resilient contact members of the short-circuiting terminal bend downwards. The free ends of the terminal enter the recessed opening. While the short-circuiting terminal is provided with a greater bending stroke, the chamber can be kept low in height due to the recessed opening. Accordingly, the male housing can be kept small, and thus miniaturized.
