The invention relates to a separable connection device, in particular for a flying craft and / or
spacecraft. The connection device (1), which is simple, compact and lightweight, comprises a connecting pin (4) for holding two parts (2, 3) together and separating them, a movable
plunger (17) arranged in the connecting pin (4) and a pressure generator (34), the connection device (1) being able to adopt a locked configuration in which the
plunger (17) acts on locking elements (25), the connecting pin (4) exerting a force on the parts (2, 3) by pressing them against each other, an unlocked configuration in which the
plunger (17), moved by a pressure generated by the pressure generator (34) in a first chamber, releases the locking elements (25) unlocking the connecting pin (4) and releasing the two parts (2, 3), and a separation configuration in which the plunger (17), moved by the pressure, opens a passage (43) between the first chamber and a second chamber, thereby allowing the pressure generated by the pressure generator (34) to be transferred thereto, the connecting pin (4) being moved by this pressure until an
impact is generated on a stop of one of the parts (2, 3) so as to initiate the separation thereof.
