Abstract: A fluid connector includes a shell having a fluid channel, a ball valve accommodated in the shell and having a through hole, a control element arranged outside the shell for controlling the ball valve to rotate, and a pin member. A front end of the shell for engaging a matching connector has an engagement hole. The control element controls the ball valve between a closed position and an open position. The through hole is in fluid communication with the fluid channel when the ball valve is at the open position. A front face of the shell has an accommodating hole for accommodating the pin member. A resilient member is arranged in the accommodating hole for supporting the pin member. The pin member obstructs the rotation of the control element unless it is in a set position.
