Connector for connecting two fluid-conducting elements

Abstract

The invention relates to a connector for connecting two fluid-conducting elements, in particular two motor vehicle pipes, having a female insert part and a male insert part insertable therein, a retainer being connected to the female insert part and being able to fix the male insert part to the female insert part; the female plug-in part has at least one verification element, in particular in the form of a code, which is at least partially covered and unreadable by at least one shutter arranged on the female plug-in part in the unfixed state of the male plug-in part; and / or the female plug-in part has at least a part of a verification element, in particular in the form of a part of a code, the verification element or the code being incomplete and unreadable in the unfixed state of the male plug-in part, at least one additional or missing part of which is arranged on at least one shutter on the female plug-in part; the shutter is displaced when the male insert part is inserted into the female insert part such that the verification element or code is intact and / or readable in a fixed or fully inserted state of the male insert part.

Description
