A connector includes a housing having a guide part to which a male terminal is inserted, a connection part exposed on the guide part so as to make contact with a terminal member of the male terminal in a state where the male terminal is inserted, a cover member provided on the guide part so as to cover the connection part, while making contact with the connection part, in a state where the male terminal is not inserted, and a spring configured to urge the cover member toward an opening of the guide part in the state where the male terminal is not inserted. The cover member is moved, upon inserting the male terminal, to a side of the guide part opposite to the opening so as not to cover the connection part.
