Abstract
A male member () includes a tubular member () and a cover () covering at least a tip () of the tubular member. A lateral hole () that communicates with a flow path () is formed in an outer peripheral surface of the tubular member. The cover includes an outer peripheral wall () that can be deformed elastically by compression and a head part () that is provided at one end of the outer peripheral wall. The head part includes an interior cavity () into which the tubular member is inserted, and a slit () is formed in an innermost part () of the interior cavity. In a state where the outer peripheral wall is not deformed by compression, an inner peripheral surface of the interior cavity contacts closely with the outer peripheral surface of the tubular member so as to block the lateral hole, and the tip of the tubular member and the innermost part of the interior cavity are spaced apart from each other. Thereby, it is possible to reduce an amount of a liquid substance adhering to outer surfaces of the cover and a female member after separation from the female member.
