An electrical connector assembly has two connectors 1 and 4 with mating contacts 15 and 45. One connector 1 has a hinged shutter 27 protecting the contacts. The other connector 4 has two parallel alignment arms 51 and 52, which enter slots 32 in the shutter 27 to lift it away from the contacts 15 as the connectors are brought together. The first connector 1 has two pockets 24 to receive the alignment arms 51 and 52, the pocket and arms having cooperating rails 23 and grooves 53, which are flared at their ends to facilitate alignment. <IMAGE>
