In a connection device (1) for connecting at least two media conduits or for connecting one media conduit to an assembly, wherein the connection device (1) comprises a housing (10) with at least one inner medium channel (13) through which medium can flow, and at least one measurement device (2) with a sensor element (23) for determining at least one parameter of the medium, such as the temperature of the medium, the sensor element (23) of the measurement device (2) is received with a form fit and/or force fit and/or cohesive fit in a conductive material, sealingly with respect to the medium that flows or is able to flow through the medium channel (13), and the conductive material is connected with an integral bond to the adjacent material (17) of the housing (10) of the connection device (1), wherein the part of the measurement device (2) provided with the conductive material and/or the part of a wall (115, 215, 317) of the housing (10) of the connection device (1) delimiting the medium channel protrudes into the medium channel (13), and the medium can or does flow at least partially around it.
