Abstract

Female element (103) for a connector (101), having an axial (X-X') channel (130) intended to accommodate an end piece (102), the female element having an annular element (139) and at least one locking ball (150A-150C) for locking the end piece (102) that can move axially (X-X') relative to the annular element (139) and radially between an unlocked position (FIG. 3) and a locked position in which it is capable of axially blocking (X-X') the end piece (102). This female element (103) further includes: at least one device forming an obstacle to the axial displacement (X-X') of the annular element (139) relative to the ball (150A-150C) in the unlocked position, said device being radially retractable; at least one resilient element (152) for returning the device (152) to the unlocked position; and at least one detection member (151A-151D) for detecting the end piece (102), that is capable, in the unlocked position, of being moved away radially by the end piece (102) so as to retract said device (152). In addition, this device and this resilient element consist of a stop clip (152) in the form of a resilient ring consisting of a wire of circular cross section.
