Abstract
A disconnect coupling for high pressure fluidic lines has an improved retaining mechanism for retaining the male portion within the female portion. The mechanism comprises a plurality of retaining lugs that are disposed within the female portion of the coupling. The retaining lugs are arranged so as to mate with a retaining groove formed into the outer surface of the male portion such that the bearing surfaces contact each other over a much-increased surface area.
