Abstract: In a plug-type connector having two plug parts for producing and interrupting a flow connection, in order to enable sealing of the flow branches of the respective parts when separated from one another when the flow connection is interrupted, each plug part is terminated with a perforable septum with a cannula held so as to be longitudinally displaceable in one septum. The cannula and the septa are fashioned with reference to one another such that the septum holding the cannula offers lower resistance to the cannula upon penetration than does the other septum. This results in the cannula first penetrating the septum that holds it when the plug parts are joined and subsequently penetrating the other septum. When releasing the plug parts from one another, the cannula is first withdrawn from the septum that holds it and is then withdrawn from the other septum.
