FEMALE CONNECTOR

To provide an easily-sterilizable female connector.SOLUTION: A female connector includes a hollow cylindrical elastic body 4 provided with a slit 9 for inserting a male connector 26 on a closed end 8, and a housing 5 having a cylindrical inner surface, for holding the elastic body 4 by the inner surface. The housing 5 includes an insertion part 11 having an inner diameter corresponding to an outer diameter of the male connector 26, and having a contact with a radial direction outer periphery of the closed end 8, for supporting the closed end 8 in the radial direction. The insertion part 11 includes an annular projection part 17 as a pressing part for preventing the closed end 8 from projecting to a direction opposite to a connection direction by pressing the closed end 8.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】消毒しやすいメスコネクタを提供する。【解決手段】メスコネクタは、閉塞端部８にオスコネクタ２６を挿入するためのスリット９が設けられた中空円筒状の弾性体４と、円筒状の内面を有し、該内面により弾性体４を保持する筐体５とを備える。筐体５は、オスコネクタ２６の外径に対応する内径を有して閉塞端部８の径方向外周に接し、閉塞端部８を径方向に支持する挿入部１１を備える。挿入部１１は、閉塞端部８を押さえて閉塞端部８が接続方向と反対方向に突出するのを防止する押え部としての環状突出部１７を備える。【選択図】図１
