Connector fitting for a fluid hose in a vehicle and connector system

A connector system comprising:

• a fixing plate for fixing a connector fitting to an engine part or a vehicle part and including a first surface, a second surface positioned parallel to the first surface, and a through-going recess having inner walls and defining a notch and
• a connector fitting
• comprising:
• a first end for connection to a hose,
• a second end for connection to parts of a fluid system, and
• a middle portion positioned in-between the first end and the second end with the middle portion having a shoulder extending in a circumferential direction of the middle portion for contact with the first surface of the fixing plate when the fixing plate is positioned in such a manner that inner walls of the through-going recess of the fixing plate circumferentially surround the middle portion,
• the connector fitting comprises at least one snap-in tongue with a nib for engaging the second surface of the fixing plate positioned parallel to the first surface such that the fixing plate is fixed in the longitudinal direction of the middle portion between the shoulder and the nib of the snap-in tongue, and
• the middle portion comprises a protrusion extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the middle portion and positioned adjacent to the shoulder for engaging the corresponding notch in the through-going recess of the fixing plate to rotationally fix the fixing plate relative to the connector fitting, and wherein the at least one snap-in tongue is spaced radially outward from the protrusion.

• and
• the middle portion comprises a protrusion extending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the middle portion and positioned adjacent to the shoulder for engaging a corresponding notch in the through-going recess of the fixing plate to rotationally fix the fixing plate relative to the connector fitting, and wherein the at least one snap-in tongue is spaced radially outward from the protrusion.
