Abstract
A method checks a sealing of an interior space of a plug connection that is to be tested. The plug connection has two plug connection elements, namely a plug connector element and a mating connector element, the plug connector element being plugged into the mating connector element in a plug-in direction. One of the plug connection elements additionally has a test opening to the interior space, via which, for the purpose of checking the sealing, a test medium is applied to the interior space, and the test opening is then sealed toward the interior space.

A method for checking a sealing of an interior space of a plug connection to be tested, the plug connection having two plug connection elements, namely a plug connector element and a mating connector element, which are plugged into one another in a plug-in direction, one of the plug connection elements having a test opening formed therein to the interior space, which comprises the steps of:
- performing a seal check by applying a test medium to the interior space;
- and
- sealing the test opening toward the interior space.
A plug connector device, comprising:
- two plug connection elements including a plug connector element and a mating connector element, which can be plugged into one another in a plug-in direction, wherein one of said plug connection elements has a test opening formed therein, wherein in a test position, said test opening is accessible and there is a flow connection between the test opening and an interior space of the plug connector device, such that a test medium can be applied to said interior space through said test opening, and wherein, in a final assembled position, a flow connection is removed.
