A quick disconnect coupling of the self-locking type which enables easier connection and prevents stresses to be developed into an unsupported rigid or flexible hose connected to the male or the female portion of the coupling. The male portion of this coupling includes a stopper which cooperates with a mating end of a sliding collar used to retain locking balls into the female portion during the introduction of the male portion into the female portion, said stopper and said mating end or said locking collar allowing, once the male portion is fully engaged into the female portion, the locking collar to return to its initial position.
