Abstract
The invention can prevent a leading end of a ferrule including a core portion from being damaged in an erroneous insertion. A shutter plate is provided with a clearance for receiving in a non-contact manner a leading end portion of a ferrule which is inserted from a diagonally upward direction side before a fitting portion. The clearance is formed into a rectangular shape, a trapezoidal shape, a circular arc shape, a bowl-like recess shape or an opening shape from a front surface side of the shutter plate toward an inner side, and the shutter plate is structured such that the shutter plate is pushed away and opened by a leading end opening edge portion of a coupling sleeve which is provided so as to cover a periphery of the ferrule, at the same time of receiving the leading end portion of the ferrule by the clearance in a non-contact state.
