A quick connector including a housing having a head portion and a body defining a central bore configured to receive a first end of a component for releasably coupling the component with the quick connector, the quick connector comprising: a latch at least partially disposed within the head portion and comprising a latch bore formed within a body of the latch, wherein the latch is moveable within the head portion between (a) a first position in which the first end of the component is restricted from passing through the latch bore and (b) a second position in which the first end of the component is allowed to pass through the latch bore; a latch indicator at least partially disposed within the head portion and moveable with respect to the latch to indicate when the component is coupled with the quick connector; and an actuator coupled to the latch for selectively moving the latch between the first and second positions, the actuator including an actuator face having at least first , second , and third portions, with the third portion disposed between the first and second portions; characterized by : the first and second portions defining a first cross-sectional shape and the third portion defining a second cross-sectional shape which is different than the first cross-sectional shape, the first cross-sectional shape including a convex radius of curvature with respect to a central axis of the latch bore and the second cross-sectional shape including at least a portion having a concave radius of curvature with respect to the central axis of the latch bore, wherein the third portion of the actuator face is configured to decrease a force required to move the latch between the first and second positions. a latch at least partially disposed within the head portion and comprising a latch bore formed within a body of the latch, wherein the latch is moveable within the head portion between (a) a first position in which the first end of the component is restricted from passing through the latch bore and (b) a second position in which the first end of the component is allowed to pass through the latch bore; a latch indicator at least partially disposed within the head portion and moveable with respect to the latch to indicate when the component is coupled with the quick connector; and an actuator coupled to the latch for selectively moving the latch between the first and second positions, the actuator including an actuator face having at least first , second , and third portions, with the third portion disposed between the first and second portions; characterized by : the first and second portions defining a first cross-sectional shape and the third portion defining a second cross-sectional shape which is different than the first cross-sectional shape, the first cross-sectional shape including a convex radius of curvature with respect to a central axis of the latch bore and the second cross-sectional shape including at least a portion having a concave radius of curvature with respect to the central axis of the latch bore, wherein the third portion of the actuator face is configured to decrease a force required to move the latch between the first and second positions. <EOS>
