Apparatus for mounting a gas turbine engine

A connector assembly (100) comprises a thrust link (102) and a clevis (120). The thrust link comprises a first end (124), a second end, and a body extending therebetween. The clevis is telescopically coupled to at least one of the thrust link first end and the second end such that a fuse element (168) extends between the clevis and the thrust link. The fuse element is positioned within a structural load path between the clevis and the thrust link, and is configured to fail when subjected to a predetermined load.
