Abstract: The invention is directed to a connector assembly (1) comprising a first connector part (2) which is interconnectable to a second connector part (3). The first connector part (2) comprises a ferrule (13) which is encompassed by a shutter frame (17) and a thereto attached shutter (16). The shutter (16) is arranged movable with respect to the ferrule (13) in a first direction (x) between a closed position, in which the shutter (16) encompasses a connection face (37) of the ferrule (13), and an open position, in which the connection face (37) is set free from the shutter (16). The shutter frame (17) and/or the shutter (16) comprises at least one locating surface (36) which during mating interacts with the second connector part (3) such that the shutter (16) is displaced relative to the ferrule (13) from the closed to the open position.
