Abstract
A plug-in connection system for fluidic lines, fittings or assemblies, having a housing part and a plug part that can be plugged into a receiving opening of the housing part. A holding element on one of the coupling parts latches with a mating holding element on the other of the coupling parts. The holding element has a spreading surface that, by sliding relative to a corresponding surface of the plug part causes a spreading movement of the holding element, transversely with respect to an axis during installation. In order to improve the plug-in behavior during installation, a spreading contour of the spreading surface engages a mating contour in such a way that, while being plugged in, the spreading travel (Sw) of the holding element changes in a non-linear manner, depending on the status of installation.
