Connector set and female connector

A female connector configured to connect to a male connector comprising a hollow rod-shaped flow path connection portion that defines a first flow path therein and that has a first axis as a center, and a lock protrusion that has an inner peripheral edge extending in a circumferential direction around the first axis, the female connector comprising:

• a cap,
• a housing, and
• a valve body, wherein:
• the cap comprises:
• a top wall comprising an opening configured to receive the flow path connection portion, and
• a cylindrical outer peripheral wall extending from an outer peripheral edge of the top wall and that has a second axis as a center;
• the housing comprises:
• a cylindrical wall having an inner peripheral surface defining a second flow path, and
• an engagement protrusion protruding from an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical wall so as to form a lower surface configured to engage with the lock protrusion to lock the male connector in a state of being connected to the female connector;
• the valve body comprises:
• a clamped portion that is clamped by the top wall and the cylindrical wall, and
• a through hole portion that is located in the opening in a top view and that penetrates the valve body in an up-down direction;
• a boundary is formed between an upper surface of the engagement protrusion and a lower end surface of the outer peripheral wall;
• and
• the boundary does not include a portion that satisfies both conditions (i) having a length equal to or longer than a length of the inner peripheral edge of the lock protrusion, and (ii) extending in a circumferential direction around the second axis.

• a through hole portion that is located in the opening in a top view and that penetrates the valve body in an up-down direction,
• a boundary is formed between an upper surface of the engagement protrusion and a lower end surface of the outer peripheral wall, and
• the boundary is formed of a plurality of first portions that extend in the circumferential direction around the second axis and a plurality of second portions that do not extend in the circumferential direction of the second axis, the first and second portions being alternately connected in the circumferential direction of the second axis, and
• a length of each of the first portions is less than a length of the inner peripheral edge of the lock protrusion.
