Abstract

A connector includes a connection part formed with two connection ends, an assembly aid and an encapsulation. The inner channel of the connection part connects the connection ends to each other for the purpose of the passage of a fluid medium. The connection part has a middle section between the connection ends, and the assembly aid is arranged at least in a partial region of the middle section on the outside of the connection part. A heating means is arranged on the assembly aid, and the encapsulation covers at least a portion of the heating means. Further, the assembly aid is arranged on the connection part by means of force-fitting.
