Abstract: A connector 8 includes a plug element 3, a short-circuiting element 4, and a latching element 50 to be latched at a first latching position and a second latching position. When the latching element 50 is at the second latching position, a short-circuiting piece 4m moves to a non-short-circuit position. The latching element 50 has latch portions 52 formed in a projecting manner, and the short-circuiting element 4 has latch receiving portions 41a. In a state where the plug element 3 is inserted into the socket element 2i, when the latching element 50 is at the second latching position, the latch portions 52 and the latch receiving portions 41a engage with each other to prevent separation between the socket element 2i and the plug element 3.
