A load limited connector that is calibrated to fail at a predetermined appro ximate tensile load. The connector includes a main body, within which a pin chamber is received, and a secondary body having a shaft that is releasably secured wit hin the pin chamber. At least one breakaway pin, positioned in a pin passageway pass ing through the pin chamber and into the main body, secures the pin chamber with in the main body. When the connector is subjected to tensile loading that exceeds t he yielding point of the breakaway pin, failure of the pin occurs resulting in separation of the main body from the secondary body. A pair of torsion pins extend thro ugh the pin chamber into the main body to prevent rotation of the pin chamber re lative to the main body. |
