Fluid system coupling with internal valves

A fluid system coupling, comprising:

• an adaptor having a body at least partially defining a fluid passageway therethrough and an adaptor poppet movably disposed therein, the adaptor poppet being movable between an open position and a closed position, the adaptor poppet being configured to seal off an open end of the adaptor when the adaptor poppet is in the closed position, the adaptor poppet being biased toward the closed position, the adaptor poppet having a poppet face, at least 95% of the poppet face comprises a uniform planar surface that is devoid of any recesses;
• a coupler having a body at least partially defining a fluid passageway therethrough, the coupler being selectively connectable to the adaptor, the coupler having a coupler poppet movably disposed therein such that the coupler poppet is movable between an open position and a closed position, the coupler poppet being configured to seal off an open end of the coupler when the coupler poppet is in the closed position, the coupler poppet having a poppet face, at least 95% of the poppet face comprises a uniform planar surface that is devoid of any recesses wherein the poppet faces of the adaptor poppet and the coupler poppet comprise corresponding alignment features, including at least one projection and one recess;
• and
• an actuation mechanism associated with the coupler, the actuation mechanism being configured to move the coupler poppet from the closed position to the open position, wherein movement of the coupler poppet from the closed position to the open position causes the coupler poppet to engage the adaptor poppet and move the adaptor poppet from the closed position to the open position.
