A valve for a pressurized fluid, comprising a body comprising a fluid circuit comprising an upstream end configured to be placed in communication with a reserve of pressurized fluid and a downstream end configured to be placed in communication with a receiver apparatus, the circuit comprising a control member controlling the flow rate in the circuit, said flow rate control member being operated by a mobile actuating member configured to move relative to the body of the valve, the valve comprising at least a first functional electronic member and a second functional electronic member, the second functional electronic member being mounted removably on the body of the valve, wherein the valve comprises at least one housing configured to accommodate said second functional electronic member and the at least one housing comprising an electrical contact(s) device configured to collaborate with a mating set of electrical contacts belonging to the second functional electronic member in order to provide electrical connection between the first functional electronic member and the second functional electronic member when the latter is in the position in which it is mounted within the housing,
- wherein the second functional electronic member is configured to move translationally in a first direction with respect to the housing between a mounted position and a dismounted position in relation to the body.
