Abstract
A connector having at least three parts is used to connect a fluid line to an opening of a component that is made of a thermoplastic material. The connector is produced by forming a first part of the connector from an essentially thermoplastic material. A second part and a third part of the connector are produced from an essentially thermoplastic material so that the second part and the third part are fused together. The first part and the second part are connected in a fluid-tight manner outside of a mold. The material of the third part is selected so that it is capable of forming a fusion connection with the thermoplastic material of the component. The connector can also have at least one part. This connector is produced by injection molding a first outer part, an inner layer and an intermediate layer. The materials of the first outer part and the inner layer and the material of the intermediate layer are selected so that they have different properties with respect to their strength, impact resistance, and tendency to creep. At least one of the first outer part, the inner layer and the intermediate layer is formed so as to be impervious to diffusion.
