Claim:
A plug-in connector ( 1 ) for media conduits, comprising: a plug-in part ( 4 ) which can be plugged with a plug shank ( 6 ) in a seal-forming fashion into a receiving opening ( 16 ) of a connector counterpart ( 2 ), and can be releasably placed into a locked position, using latching means ( 18 ), to prevent the plug-in part from being pulled out from the receiving opening wherein the latching means ( 18 ) is composed of at least two latching arms ( 26 ), of the plug-in part ( 4 ), which latching arms ( 26 ) extend approximately parallel to a plugging axis ( 14 ) in the release direction ( 24 ) and are biased in a spring elastic fashion in the radial direction, wherein, in the plugged-in state, the latching arms ( 26 ) each engage in a latching and positively or frictionally locking fashion behind a latching step ( 32 ) which is provided within the receiving opening ( 16 ) of the connector counterpart ( 2 ), wherein said plug-in-part ( 4 ) together with the latching arms ( 26 ) being embodied as an integral, monolithic part, the connector ( 1 ) further comprising a locking element ( 34 ) which is moveably connected to the plug-in part ( 4 ) and in a secured position it blocks the latching means ( 18 ) to prevent release of the latching means, and in a release position the locking element releases the latching means ( 18 ) for a release movement which cancels the locked position, wherein said plug shank ( 6 ), in the areas between the latching arms ( 26 ), comprises radially projecting support faces ( 47 ) or guide shoulders ( 56 ) for providing support against the tilting of the plug shank ( 6 ) in the receiving opening ( 16 ).
