1. A plug-in connector element with a locking device (14; 14′) for detachable locking to a plug partner (12; 12′),
wherein the locking device has a plurality of locking hooks (16, 18; 16′) which are distributed over a circumference of a base body (10; 10′),
have a detent at a front end in a plugging direction, and
can pivot in a radial direction between a locking position and a release position,
wherein the locking hooks (16, 18; 16′) are designed as components
which are separate from one another and from the base body (10; 10′) and are mounted on the base body such that they can each be tilted about an axis (A; B) extending at right angles to the plugging direction and at right angles to the radial direction, and
which are each supported in an axial direction resiliently on the base body at an end opposite the detent,
wherein the locking hooks (16) are supported on the base body (10) by elastic wings (24), and
wherein the elastic wings (24) are formed as a single piece with the locking hooks.
