Claim 7:
8. A quick connector comprising a female element according to claim 1 and a male element, configured to be connected to said female element, wherein:
the male element comprises a hollow body with a generally revolutionary shape about a main axis, the hollow body comprising a distal portion which is intended to be received in the receiving volume of the female element, the body of the male element delimiting a fluid passage, which opens out of the distal portion via a second mouthpiece, the second mouthpiece defining a front side of the male element,
the distal portion comprises, a first cylindrical portion, a flared portion, in particular a conical portion and a second cylindrical portion moving away from the second mouth, the flared portion being arranged so as to project in relation to the first cylindrical portion and the second cylindrical portion,
the flared portion forms a flange with a front face and a rear face, of which:
the front face is oriented towards the second mouthpiece and diverges, moving away from the second mouth, the front face being configured to push each latch from its first position to its second position when the male element penetrates the female element, during a insertion movement of the male element into the receiving volume of the female element,
the rear face connects the front face to the second cylindrical portion and is oriented away from the second mouthpiece,

when the quick connector is in a connected configuration in which the male element is received in the receiving volume of the female element, the insertion axis is coincident with the main axis, the actuating ring is in the locked position and each latch is in its first position, the rear face of the flange is facing the proximal face of each latch.
