A connection assembly is provided. The connection assembly includes a socket with connection pins, a plug with matching connection pins and a locker for locking the plug relative to the socket while the matching pins are engaged. The lock includes a bolt having a barrel provided with balls movable between a locking position projecting in relation to the barrel and a position retracted inside the barrel, and a rod for retaining the balls in the locking position. The locker also includes a shaft arranged in the plug or the socket for at least partially receiving the bolt and having a groove for receiving the balls in the locked and projecting position. The bolt further includes a spring for returning the rod toward the ball-retaining position, and the rod has a cam surface pushing the balls back into the locked position when the spring urges the rod towards the retaining position.
