The invention relates to an adaptor (1) for connecting a drug delivery device (100) to a connector (200) provided with an external thread (201), the adaptor comprising a globally tubular body (2) having a proximal region (2a) and a distal region (2b), said proximal region being provided with engagement means (3) for mounting said adaptor on the drug delivery device, said distal region being provided on its inner wall with an internal thread (5) intended to cooperate with said external thread so as to connect said connector to the adaptor, said internal thread defining an internal thread crest (5a), characterized in that said internal thread crest is provided with at least one deformable radial end part (6) configured so as to be radially deformed when said connector is screwed into the adaptor. The invention further relates to a drug delivery device comprising such an adaptor and to a method for connecting the connector to the adaptor. La invención de interés se refiere a un adaptador (1) para conectar un dispositivo de suministro de fármacos (100) a un conector (200) provisto de una rosca externa (201), el adaptador comprende un cuerpo tubular global (2) que tiene una región proximal (2a) y una región distal (2b), dicha región proximal está provista de medios de acoplamiento (3) para montar dicho adaptador en el dispositivo de suministro de fármaco, dicha región distal está provista en su pared interna con una rosca interna (5) destinada a cooperar con dicha rosca externa para conectar dicho conector al adaptador, dicha rosca interna define una cresta de rosca interna (5a), caracterizada porque dicha cresta de rosca interna está provista de al menos una parte extrema radial deformable (6) configurada para ser radialmente deformada cuando dicho conector se atornilla en el adaptador. La invención se refiere además a un dispositivo de suministro de fármacos que comprende dicho adaptador y a un método para conectar el conector al adaptador.
