A surgical retractor includes a side loading socket configured to receive a connector head. A linearly moveable slide retains the connector head within the socket cavity. The slide has a convex face outwardly from the socket cavity which assists in "snapping" in a connector head. A convex inner face assists in retaining an inserted connector head. A notch in the tip of the slide assists in preventing rotation of a connector head having opposing locking pins when one of the pins is received in a recess at the back of the socket cavity. A grip is connected to the slide which may move the slide from a locked to a released position within a slot in the socket body.
