The invention relates to a connector assembly (1) comprising a pipe (3), a sealing element (5), and a plug connector (4) which comprises a connector body (6). The connector body (6) has an annular chamber (22) which is located between a first exterior section (12) and a second exterior section (15) of the plug connector (4). A connection section (34) of the pipe (3) is inserted into the annular chamber (22) of the connector body (6) from the pipe receiving side (25) and is connected thereto. The connection section (34) of the pipe (3) includes a fastening recess (43) and a seal receptacle (44) which are incorporated in a circumferential surface (42) of the pipe (3), said seal receptacle being structurally separated from the fastening recess (43). The first (12) or the second exterior section (15) is deformed in the region of the seal receptacle (44) in such a way that the sealing element (5) is pressed between the first (12) or second exterior section (15) and the seal receptacle (44). The invention further relates to a method for producing the connector assembly (1).
