Patent ID: 7866711

Claim:
A quick connector coupling for forming a severable connection in a fluid line comprising: a conductive connector body defining a through bore extending axially forward from a male reception end of said connector body and having a forward facing retainer contact surface; a conductive tubular male member extending through said male reception end of said connector body and into said bore, said male member having a generally cylindrical sealing surface and an annular upset, said upset having a diameter greater than the diameter of said cylindrical surface and defining a rearward facing radial abutment surface; a tube retainer within said connector body including a non-conductive body having spaced apart legs, each having non-conductive forward facing and rearward facing surfaces; a cross member connecting said legs and having a non-conductive rearward facing surface, said retainer including a separate conductive insert in said retainer non-conductive body comprising at least one leg having a conductive tube upset contact surface on said non-conductive forward facing surface of at least one of said legs contacting said rearward facing radial abutment surface of said upset of said conductive tubular male member, and a cross member having a conductive connector body contact surface on said non-conductive rearward facing surface of said cross member of said non-conductive tube retainer contacting said forward facing retainer contact surface of said conductive connector body.
