摘要： A connector (1) comprising at least one engagement ball (9) that is movable between an engagement position and a disengagement position, wherein a motion of an engagement ball operating part (11) of the connector (1) relatively to an inner housing (2) of the connector (1) can force the at least one engagement ball (9) from the engagement position into the disengagement position. The engagement ball operating part (11) comprises claws that extend through at least one window in a supporting part (8) or the inner housing (2) or between the supporting part (8) and the inner housing (2). A system comprising the connector (1) and a counter connector (5) that can be locked to the connector (1) by means of a locking mechanism with the at least one engagement ball (9) of the connector (1) that engages with an engagement part (24) of the counter connector. If the at least one engagement ball (9) is in the engagement position and the locking mechanism is loaded, the at least one engagement ball (9) does not exert a force on a part of the connector that is movable relatively to the inner housing and retains the engagement ball (9) in the engagement position. And a method of unlocking a connector (1) from a counter connector (5) by moving an engagement ball (9) of the connector (1) from an locking position, in which the engagement ball (9) is engaged with an engagement part (24) of the counter connector (5) to lock the connector (1) to the counter connector (5), to an unlocking position, in which the engagement ball (9) is no longer engaged with the engagement part (24) of the counter connector (5).

摘要： A counter connector for mating with a connector, the counter connector having a hollow cylindrical housing. The counter connector comprises at least two, preferably three, of the following three types of locking means for locking the counter connector to the connector: a) Arranged on a perimeter on a cylindrical surface of the housing or of a sleeve located inside the housing, a counter engagement part in the form of a groove, a collar, or a series of radially extending apertures, recesses or protrusions, the counter engagement part being adapted to engage with at least one engagement part or at least one latching part of the connector; b) A counter latching part that can be deflected elastically in a radial direction of the counter connector and comprises at least one of a radially extending groove, collar, aperture, recess or protrusion adapted to engage with a latching part of the connector; and c) A counter thread adapted to engage with a thread of the connector. And a system comprising a counter connector according to one of the preceding claims and at least one connector that can be mated with the counter connector, wherein the connector is of one of the following three types: a) A push-pull connector; b) a break-away connector; and c) a threaded connector.
