The connector () has a cup-shaped receiving part () glued on its collector tube and a U-shaped connecting part () formed on the cup-shaped receiving part (), which engages the collector manifold (). A sealing device () is arranged on the U-shaped connecting part (). A torsion-stiff, self-supporting device is provided accordingly by this structure, in which each collector tube is not loaded with external forces, during to thermal expansion, transport, mounting or the like.
