  • Publication number: 20070004276
    Abstract: A male connector interface which requires a low extraction force to remove the male interface from a mating female connector interface. The male connector interface has a tubular housing with an inner surface with a first inner diameter region having an inner diameter and an increased inner diameter region having a first end disposed directly adjacent the first inner diameter region and extending to the distal end of the housing for an axial length, wherein the first inner diameter region and the first end of the increased inner diameter region define a shoulder facing the distal end of the housing, and the increased inner diameter region has a first tapered portion disposed at the first end and increasing in diameter toward the distal end, the first tapered portion defining a first frustoconical portion of the longitudinal bore.
