A connector for connection between two fluid-conveying elements, in particular for connection between two motor vehicle pipes, with a female plug-in part and a male plug-in part which is insertable into the female plug-in part. A retainer is connected to the female plug-in part, the retainer allowing the male plug-in part to be fixed, in the inserted state, to the female plug-in part. The retainer may be pivoted from an open position to a fixing position&#x2014;and vice versa&#x2014;about a pivot axis arranged in the region of the outer surface of the female plug-in part.

Connector for connection between two fluid-conveying elements

A tubing for a fluid medium of motor vehicles, in particular for an aqueous urea solution, comprises a tube, at least one heating wire, and a plug arranged on a tube end of the tube. The plug has a plug shank and a housing which surrounds the tube end and the heating wire. The plug shank comprises a latching means, preferably a collar, for latching in a connector. The tube has an inner tube and a contact element, wherein the heating wire is arranged between the inner tube and the contact element. The contact element brings the heating wire into contact with the inner tube, and the housing partially surrounds the contact element. A first segment of the heating wire runs on the tube end between the contact element and the inner tube, wherein a second segment of the heating wire runs between the contact element and the housing.

Heated tubing with plug, and a method for operating this tubing

A tubing for a fluid medium of motor vehicles, particularly for an aqueous urea solution, comprises a tube and a connector arranged on one tube end of the tube. The connector has a connecting part, a heating wire, and a housing which encloses the connecting part and the heating wire. The connecting part comprises a retaining element for an engaging connection of a plug that can be plugged into the connecting part. The heating wire extends at least from the connecting end associated with the tube end into the intermediate section, wherein at least along the intermediate section of the connecting part, the connector is preferably free of alignment elements arranged in or on the connecting part and used for aligning the heating wire.

Tubing comprising a connector as well as a method for operating said tubing

Connector assembly, and/or motor-vehicle connector assembly, with at least one connector and at least one media line connected to the connector. The media line is electrically heated, a heat-conducting element being arranged in the transition region between connector and media line. The heat-conducting element extends with a first heat-conducting section into the media line and with a second heat-conducting section into the connector. By means of the electric heating of the media line, the heat-conducting element is heated, and/or indirectly heated, and in particular is heated and/or indirectly heated as far as the region of the connector.
