Abstract
A pair of connectors comprises a first connector with a first contact and a second connector with a second contact. The connectors are configured for attachment to one another along an attachment axis. The connectors are movable relative to one another between a first configuration and a third configuration via a second configuration. The connectors are attached to one another in the first configuration and in the second configuration, and can only be detached from one another from the third configuration. The contacts of the connectors are touching in the first configuration, and are not touching in the second configuration. Movement of the connectors between the first and second configurations requires the connectors to undergo a first manipulation. Movement of the connectors between the second and third configurations requires the connectors to undergo a second manipulation which is different to the first manipulation.
