ABSTRACT:
A spring mechanism is positioned to hold two members of, e.g., an electrical connector which are moveable relative to each other, securely together and to resist motion of the one element with respect to the other in a decoupling direction until the force exerted on the spring exceeds a predetermined force. At this point, the spring, due to its structure, pops or flips to another position producing a decrease in the overall spring diameter causing the spring to clear retaining grooves in one or both of the two members such that the two members are released.
