A line connector having a connector piece with at least one junction portion for junction connection to a media line or to an assembly, a transitional portion contiguous to the junction portion, and a flow duct. In at least the region of the transitional portion, an electrical heating element for the media line is provided in an arrangement at least partially surrounding the flow duct. The connector piece, together with the heating element, is surrounded by an outer cladding. At least one of the junction portions is designed as a hollow, cylindrical receptacle for directly plugging in the end of the media line, the media line being capable of being fastened in a materially integral manner. The junction portion including, at least in regions, a material transparent to laser beams in such a way that the media line can be fastened by way of laser welding.

1. A line connector for media lines comprising a connector piece which is formed as a one-piece molding from plastic, and having at least one junction portion as a socket part for a releasable plug connection or as a plug portion for a junction connection to an assembly or a media line and with a transitional portion contiguous to the junction portions and having a flow duct, comprising in that, at least in the region of the transitional portion, electrical heating means for the media line are provided in an arrangement circumferentially surrounding the flow duct whereby the heating means are formed at least by a resistance wire, which is wound in a coil-like manner on the outside of the connector piece, wherein the connector piece has form elements for guiding and fixing the resistance wire attached on the outside of the connector piece, wherein the connector piece together with the heating means is surrounded by an outer cladding, at least one of the junction portions being designed as a hollow-cylindrical receptacle for directly plugging in the end of the media line, the media line being capable of being fastened in a materially integral manner, whereby the junction portion includes, at least in regions, a material transparent to laser beams in such a way that the media line can be fastened by means of laser beam welding. 2. The line connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outer cladding is designed for heat insulation with low heat conductivity, the cladding being formed as an outer housing having two symmetrical housing halves which form two half shells of the outer housing or as an injection-molded part entirely around the connector piece. 3. The line connector as claimed in claim 2, wherein the cladding is designed for surrounding one end of the media line and one end of a line sheathing of the media line. 4. The line connector as claimed in claim 2, wherein an air volume for heat distribution and heat insulation is enclosed between the cladding and the connector piece. 5. The line connector as claimed in claim 3, wherein the cladding is connected with a form fit to the connector piece with orifices in the outer housing being present, which serve for leading out connecting wires for the junction of the heating means, these orifices lying in the parting plane of the outer housing. 6. A ready-made media line, comprising a media line with a heating conductor arranged on the circumference and a heatable line connector comprising a connector piece which is formed as a one-piece molding from plastic, and having at least one junction portion as a socket part for a releasable plug connection or as a plug portion for junction connection to an assembly or a media line and with a transitional portion contiguous to the junction portions and having a flow duct, comprising in that, at least in the region of the transitional portion, electrical heating means for the media line are provided in an arrangement circumferentially surrounding the flow duct whereby the heating means comprising at least one resistance wire, which is wound in a coil-like manner on the outside of the connector piece, wherein the connector piece has form elements for guiding and fixing the resistance wire attached on the outside of the connector piece, wherein the connector piece together with the heating means is surrounded by an outer cladding, at least one of the junction portions being designed as a hollow-cylindrical receptacle for directly plugging in the end of the media line, the media line being capable of being fastened in a materially integral manner, whereby the junction portion includes, at least in regions, a material transparent to laser beams in such a way that the media line can be fastened by means of laser beam welding, whereby comprising that a sheathing, in the form of a corrugated tube, surrounds the media line having the heating conductor, the sheathing being led into the cladding of the line connector and being connected with a form fit, and whereby the heating conductor surrounds the media line spirally and consists of two sire windings running parallel, and whereby the heating conductor is a resistance wire or resistance wires surrounding the media line are connected electrically to one another to form a series connection or to form two series connections. 7. The ready-made media line as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a sealing compound between the cladding and the connector piece and in a connection region of the line sheathing within the cladding.
