PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a female connector that can be easily connected to a male connector and disconnected therefrom, thereby preventing unpleasant feeling from being given to a patient.SOLUTION: A female connector 1 is connected to a male connector 2 that includes a first hollow tubular part 22 protruding from a pedestal 21 in a vertical direction and an engaging part 23 protruding from the pedestal 21 in a radial direction. The female connector 1 has: a female connector main body 3 made of a soft resin that includes a second hollow tubular part 31 into which the first hollow tubular part 22 is inserted； and a lock member 4 made of a flexible hard resin that includes a cylindrical tube part 41, an annular wall part 42, and a grip part 43. The female connector main body 3 includes a flange part 32 and a stepped part 33, and the lock member 4 includes a claw part 45, with the cylindrical tube part 41 keeping a predetermined gap 47 between an inner peripheral surface 46 and an outer peripheral surface of the second hollow tubular part 31.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】オスコネクタに対する接続及び接続を解除する操作が容易であり、患者に不快感を与えることの無いメスコネクタを提供する。【解決手段】メスコネクタ１は、台座２１から垂直方向に突出する第１の中空管状部２２と、台座２１から放射方向に突出する係合部２３とを備えるオスコネクタ２に接続される。第１の中空管状部２２が挿入される第２の中空管状部３１を備える軟質樹脂製のメスコネクタ本体３と、円筒管部４１と、環状壁部４２と、把持部４３とを備える可撓性硬質樹脂製のロック部材４とからなる。メスコネクタ本体３は、フランジ部３２と、段差部３３とを備え、ロック部材４は爪部４５を備え、円筒管部４１は内周面４６と第２の中空管状部３１の外周面との間に所定の間隙４７を存する。【選択図】 図５
