The first connecting element (2, 1) is provided with spring means (12), which engage the second connecting element (1, 2) when the plug (1) is inserted in the socket (2), so that the plug (1) will be pulled out of the socket (2) when a predetermined pulling force is exceeded. Preferably, the first connecting element is the socket (2) and the second connecting element is the plug (1). Preferably, the spring means comprise a leaf spring (12). <IMAGE>
