Abstract:
1. A perforating connector, comprising a hollow fluid passage needle, a needle support body fixed in a sealed manner around an intermediate section of the needle and allowing a first end section and a second end section of the needle to project, a first tubular receptacle around the first end section of the needle and conformed to receive a first element to be connected, a second tubular receptacle around the second end section of the needle and conformed to receive a second element to be connected, a first foil closing the first tubular receptacle, a second foil closing the second tubular receptacle, the first foil being movable axially relative to the needle support body over a first piercing stroke between an initial position away from the body and the needle and a final position close to the body in which the needle passes through the first foil and its end projects toward the exterior of the connector, this second foil being movable axially relative to the needle support body over a second piercing stroke between an initial position away from the body and the needle and a final position close to the body in which the needle passes through the second foil and its end projects toward the exterior of the connector, wherein the perforating connector comprises a coaxial external holding sleeve adapted for moving the body and the second foil axially toward the first foil over the first piercing stroke without piercing the second foil, and then for moving the second foil axially toward the body and toward the first foil over the second piercing stroke.
