A mechanical fuse is described which links two members together in yieldable engagement permitting their separation when the separation forces exceed a predetermined value. The fuse comprises a female member having a housing with a slit in its wall for insertion of a tongue of the male member. A frustoconical spring washer is supported within the housing, and the washer supports a latch in the form of a button in its center aperture. The button is biased against the tongue of the male member and engages an aperture in this member. The sides of one or both of the aperture and button are bevelled so that a force applied to withdraw the tongue transmits a force component which compresses the spring washer. When this force component equals or exceeds the load of the washer, the washer withdraws and releases the tongue of the male member.
