Electronically activated access valve

An electrically activated access valve arrangement comprising:

• a male connector comprising a body, a distal end, a proximal end, and a fluid passage, wherein a conductive element is located on the body, the conductive element located external of the path of the fluid passage;
• a female connector comprising a body, a distal end, a proximal end, and an opening, wherein the opening is in fluid communication with the fluid passage of the male connector when the male connector is fully inserted into the female connector, the female connector comprising contacts;
• and
• a valve connected to the opening of the female connector, wherein upon insertion of the male connector to the female connector, the conductive element of the male connector physically contacts the contacts of the female connector to provide an electrical pathway for an electrical signal to be sent to the valve to transition the valve from a normally closed position to an opened position.
