A modular constructed connector (2) for interconnecting with a single male (3) and female (4) connector a plurality of electrical lines (18) and fluid lines (17) while maintaining a consistent bubble-tight fluid interconnection. The modular design permits the number of fluidic (17) and electrical (18) connections to be varied depending upon the particular application. In one embodiment, a programmable microchip (204) is mounted within this connector. This chip stores the response characteristics of a flow meter (221) used, for example, as an air flow measurement device in a respiratory circuit.
