• a circuit board;
• a housing;
• a board accommodation space formed in the housing and configured such that the circuit board is inserted thereinto from front of the housing;
• a terminal fitting mounted in the housing;
• a resilient contact piece provided on the terminal fitting and capable of resiliently contacting the circuit board inserted into the board accommodation space;
• a movable member provided in the housing;
• a cover formed on the movable member and configured to cover an inserting end edge portion on a tip of the circuit board in an inserting direction into the board accommodation space when the circuit board is inserted into the board accommodation space;
• a guide configured to guide the movable member movably between an initial position where the cover is located at an entrance of the board accommodation space forward of the resilient contact piece and a connection position where the cover is located backward of the resilient contact piece;
• a receiving surface formed on the movable member and configured to move the movable member integrally with the circuit board to a back side of the board accommodation space by being pushed by the circuit board;
• and
• locking portions formed on the circuit board and the movable member to be lockable to each other and configured to move the movable member integrally with the circuit board in a withdrawing direction from the board accommodation space.
