Abstract: The application relates to a coupling element for connecting a first fluid-conducting line to a second fluid-conducting line. Here it is provided that an indicator device is mounted on a latching device and has a retaining element which can be elastically deflected in the radial direction relative to a guide element of the indicator device and which in a latched position engages in the latch receiving area and secures the indicator device in the axial direction by interacting with a main part and in a non-latched position lies outside the latch receiving area and releases the indicator device to move in the axial direction. The invention additionally relates to a coupling assembly.

Abstract: The application relates to a plastic moulding for a moulding arrangement including a housing for another plastic moulding of the moulding arrangement, wherein the housing is formed within a moulding body of the plastic moulding including a weldable material in at least some areas. It is contemplated therein that a contact element is arranged on the moulding body, the contact element at least partly including an electrically conductive material and limiting a recess of the moulding body adjoining the housing in at least some areas. The application further relates to a moulding arrangement and a method for producing a moulding arrangement.
