A connector provided with a housing which defines an insertion section into which a male connector is inserted from the outside and a flow path communicating with the insertion section and an elastic valve body which has a slit and blocks the insertion section. The housing includes a tip receiving section formed on an inner wall defining the flow path, the tip receiving section receiving a tip of the male connector inserted through the slit of the elastic valve body. The tip receiving section is formed on only a part of the inner wall in a cross section that is perpendicular to an insertion direction of the male connector and includes at least a part of the tip receiving section.
