ABSTRACT:
A connector system comprises a socket having at least one locking pin and a plug comprising a plug body and a locking ring having at least one slot along which the pin can move and an elastic member disposed at one end of the slot defining a first area in which the slot tapers and a second area in which the pin is selectively lodged. The aforementioned one end of the slot terminates at an abutment. The second area is wider than the pin and the first area so that the elastic member is retracted elastically when the pin enters the first area and returns to its initial position without being compressed by the pin when the pin is in the second area near the abutment. The elastic member of the connector system is a cantilever beam having a notch at its free end.
