Abstract
A connector arrangement connects an electrically-heatable hose to a piece of equipment. The connector arrangement is configured as a plug connection wherein the hose has a first plug connector which can be plugged into a mating second plug connector mounted on the piece of equipment. The hose has at least one heater lead embedded in the hose and the heater lead has an end segment brought out of the hose for fitting with the first plug connector. The first plug connector includes a body having an annular housing region defining an end. A connector stub is arranged on the end for receiving an end portion of the hose thereon. An annular receptacle is pushed onto the annular housing region and has a surface and a helical slot formed in the surface. The end segment of the heater lead is helically placed in the helical slot so as to spirally cover over the annular housing region.
