Electrical connector with disconnection actuator

A connector, comprising:

• a first part having a first contact;
• a second part having a second contact engageable with the first contact when the first part is connected to the second part;
• a retainer having a latch carried by one of the first part and the second part and a retention surface carried by the other of the first part and the second part, the retainer has a latched position in which the latch overlaps the retention surface and prevents disconnection of the first part from the second part, and the retainer has a released position in which the latch does not overlap the retention surface;
• and
• a disconnection actuator carried by the first part and engageable with the second part when the first part and second part are engaged to provide a force on the second part to disconnect the second part and the first part, and wherein, when the retainer is in the latched position the disconnection actuator does not disconnect the second part from the first part and when the retainer is in the released position the disconnection actuator disconnects the second part from the first part.
