Abstract
A connector device comprising a connector socket, a connector housing, and a connector plug. In an embodiment, the connector socket and connector plug may be configured so that they can be formed, for example, on pipe ends in a cold-forming process. The connector housing may be a plastic part that can be produced in an injection-molding process. Detent elements may secure the connector housing to the connector socket. The connector plug in turn may secure the detent elements in a locked position, so that the connector housing cannot become detached from the connector socket as long as the connector plug remains in the socket. A locking ring can secure the connector plug in the connector housing. The locking ring can, if necessary or desired, be located and configured in such a way that it can be moved into a release position with a tool.
