1. A quick connect fluid conduit connector, comprising:
a male connector component including a male distal end configured to receive a seal member, a first fluid conduit defined by a first elongate bore extending from said male distal end, and a latch catch groove adjacent to a radially projecting latching flange located proximally from said male distal end; and a female connector component including a connector housing defining a female distal end and a receptacle extending proximally from an opening in said female distal end, a second fluid conduit defined by a second elongate bore extending from said receptacle, and a latch operatively engaged with said connector housing for releasably retaining said male connector component, said latch including a release button positioned along a top side of said connector housing, a latch plate extending from said release button at least partially across said receptacle so as to latch into engagement with said male connector component after insertion into said receptacle, and at least one spring arm integrally formed as a unitary piece with said release button and extending into said connector housing, said at least one spring arm engaging said connector housing to bias said latch towards a latched position in which said latch plate engages said latch catch groove to prevent removal of said male connector component from said receptacle, said release button configured to be depressed into said connector housing to move said latch against the bias and towards an unlatched position in which said latch plate disengages from said latch catch groove, and said female connector component further comprises a lock mechanism having a lock slider operatively engaged with said latch, said lock slider being movable between a locked position, in which movement of said latch towards the unlatched position is prevented, and an unlocked position where operation of said latch is unaffected. |
