Title:
PLUG CONNECTOR AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING A PLUG CONNECTOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/153980
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a plug connector, in particular for connecting a hydraulic line to a clutch assembly of a motor vehicle, comprising a first connecting part (12), which has a first plug adapter (16) for connecting to a first line. Furthermore, a second connecting part (14) is provided, which has a second plug adapter (18) for connecting a second line. An intermediate channel (24) is formed by the first connecting part and/or the second connecting part for connecting the first plug adapter to the second plug adapter, wherein the intermediate channel runs at an angle, substantially at a right angle, to the first plug adapter and/or to the second plug adapter, wherein the first connecting part can be connected to the second connecting part via a securing retainer (38) for blocking an axial relative movement and a locking device (30) for blocking a relative movement in the circumferential direction. Such a plug connector can be used to individually adjust and fix the relative alignment of the first plug adapter to the second plug adapter in the circumferential direction such that the installation of a hydraulic assembly having such a plug connector can be done with less effort, even in the case of differing engine types and/or differing transmission types.
