Abstract A first connector is disposed on a first end of a lead in a lead set for use with a plasma arc torch. The first connector is capable of engaging a second connector by causing a compression force in a second connector. The second connector compression force is caused by application of a translational force along a longitudinal axis. The second connector causes, upon application of a depression force along the longitudinal axis, disengagement of the first connector. The second causes disengagement of the first connector upon application of a linear force applied along the longitudinal axis to at least one of the first connector and the second connector. The second end of the lead may also be connected to a power supply. Methods for connecting and disconnecting a lead are also disclosed.
