A connector is configured to be removably engaged with and locked to an inlet. The connector comprises a locking member and a release member. The locking member is configured to impose a force on an inlet blade so as to lock the connector to the inlet when the connector is fully inserted into the inlet. The locking member comprises a compressible portion having an opening that is sufficiently large to allow the inlet blade to slide through under pressure but sufficiently small to form at least one contact point between the inlet blade and the compressible portion in its uncompressed state so as to impose the force on the inlet blade. The release member is configured to release the force imposed by the locking member on the inlet blade so as to disengage the connector from the inlet.
