Abstract
One connector part has an outer locking shell spring-loaded to move axially and with an interior circumferential cavity which can be aligned with locking fingers when the locking shell is subjected to a predetermined amount of separating force enabling the locking fingers to be released. The other connector part is spring-loaded to hold further locking fingers in contacting relation to an outer surface of the connector shell. When an axial force applied to mated connector parts exceeds the first predetermined releasing force and connector release has not been achieved then the spring-loaded other connector part allows its fingers to extend beyond the innermost end of that connector part releasing the fingers from locking engagement and, therefore, releasing the connector parts.
