ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for engaging and disengaging a first connector half (202) from a second connector half (204) includes a first ramp (206) and second ramp (216) for each connector half. The first and second ramps (206, 216) have frictional properties and geometries which cancel forces to provide for automatic separation of the ramps during connection of the two connector halves. For disconnection, the first and second ramps translate a horizontal push force (240) at the ends of the ramps into an upward motion so as to disengage the first connector half (202) from the second connector half (204).
