1. A connector for two fluid lines of different geometries, having
a housing, which comprises a first and a second connection section and a fluid channel which fluidically connects both connection sections,
a locking element, which can be coupled to the housing, the locking element having a first fixing section having at least one hole, and
a seal, which can be arranged between the housing and the locking element,
wherein the locking element and the housing can be arranged with respect to one another in relation to the fluid channel in such a way that a receiving section for receiving the seal is formed between the housing and the locking element,
wherein the first connection section is configured for connection of a first fluid line having an elongate cross section and at least one through-hole, the second connection section is configured for connection of a second fluid line with another cross section,
wherein the at least one hole and the at least one through-hole align to receive a fixing element for fixing the first fluid line to the connector in a form-fitted manner.
