A connector with a protective cover for exposed electrical terminals. The connector includes a housing having an opening formed on one side thereof through which electrical contacts of terminals are exposed. The protective cover includes an insulating protector for covering the opening of the connector and a housing holder detachably assembled to the housing. The insulating protector has a protective plate and two arms extending in the same direction from the longitudinal ends of the protective plate. Each of the arms has a projection and is rotatably assembled at distal end thereof to the housing holder. The housing holder has a closing-position locking groove and an opening-position locking groove, which are provided about rotating axis of the arms and angularly spaced apart from each other. The protective plate closes the opening of the connector A when the projection is received in the closing-position locking groove, and opens the opening when the projection is received in the opening-position locking groove.
