  • Patent number: 9567959
    Abstract: Provided is a connector which can facilitate tuning of frequency of pulsation to be reduced and prevent sealing performance from degrading when a piston moves. A pulsation reducing member adopts a structure in which the piston moves in a cylinder. The cylinder has an annular flange portion projecting in a radially inner direction of a hollow cylindrical shape. An elastic sealing member is sandwiched in a compressed state between an end surface of the flange portion of the cylinder and an end surface of the piston. An urging body is disposed in a region in the cylinder on a side of the piston opposite to a passage and applies urging force to move the piston toward the passage and compress the elastic sealing member.
