Abstract: A hydraulic connector for hydraulic circuits includes a female coupling and a male coupling which are configured to directly couple with and decouple from each other. The female and male couplings do not include inner spaces to accommodate a first sensor. A mutual connection of the female and male couplings facilitates flow of a fluid between the female and male couplings. At least either the male or female coupling includes a first hollow element which is applied directly to an external surface of the male or female coupling to define an inner space. Either the male or female coupling includes the first sensor positioned in the inner space formed by the first hollow element. The first sensor is configured to detect and transmit electronic signals corresponding to working and/or operating parameters and/or values of the connector to a receiver.

Abstract: A connector, e.g. a quick connector, for hydraulic applications, in particular for hydraulic circuits and the like, the connector including a female coupling and a male coupling suited to be alternatively connected and disconnected from each other, wherein the mutual connection of the female and male coupling translates into the possible flow of a fluid between the female and male couplings, wherein at least either the male or female coupling comprises a first detection sensor configured so as to detect working and/or operating parameters and/or values of the connector.
