A connector includes a housing having a first female-side connecting port,
a liquid circulation space, and a male-side connecting section
communicating with the liquid circulation space, a first valve disk made
of elastic material and having a hollow section and a top slit formed in
the top and received in the housing, a pin movably installed in the
housing, and an urging section for urging the pin axially. In this
connector, the top slit spreads and communication is established between
a tube interior and the hollow section, and at the same time the top of
the pin is pressed to cause the pin to move axially, enlarging the
clearance between the hollow section and the pin, thereby establishing
communication between the tube interior and the male-side connecting
section interior successively through the top slit, the hollow section
and the liquid circulation space.
