Abstract

A connection unit having a connector and at least one fluid line that is connected to the connector, wherein the connector has at least two connection ends and a connector section that connects the connection ends to one another. A fluid line end of a fluid line engages with at least one connection end of the connector. At least one compensation element is connected to the fluid line in the area of the fluid line end of the fluid line, the compensation element being supportable on at least one support stop via at least one spring element. Due to a pressure increase in the connector section, the compensation element is movable against the restoring force of the spring element in the direction of the support stop, with an increase in the internal volume of the connector section.
