A line connector assembly and a line connector for fluidically connecting fluid lines is described. A housing has: a receiving space; a connecting piece; and a channel through which fluid can flow. The channel through which fluid can flow has a first straight channel portion and a curved channel portion. The curved channel portion directly adjoins the first straight channel portion in such a way that fluid can flow through, and the curved channel portion can be connected to a second straight channel portion in such a way that fluid can flow through. The curved channel portion has an inner channel line and an outer channel line, the outer channel being less strongly curved than the inner channel line. The outer channel line of the curved channel portion has, over an entire extent of the curved channel portion, a length (L).
A line connector for fluidically connecting fluid lines, comprising a housing with a receiving space, a connection piece and a channel through which fluid can flow with a diameter d, wherein the channel through which fluid can flow has a first straight channel portion and a bent channel portion, wherein the bent channel portion is directly connected to the first straight channel portion through which fluid can flow and can be connected to a second straight channel portion through which fluid can flow, wherein a deflection angle α is formed between the first straight channel portion and the second channel portion, wherein the bent channel portion has an inner channel line and an outer channel line, wherein the outer channel line is less strongly curved than the inner channel line, wherein the outer channel line of the bent channel portion has a length L over an entire extent of the bent channel portion, wherein, if the channel through which fluid can flow has a diameter d, the following applies:
