Patent ID: 8701285

Claim:
Method for producing an electrically conductive connection between an electrical terminal device having a cut-out and a sheet metal part, the method comprising: rotationally fixedly riveting to the sheet metal part a hollow fastener element executed with two projections which are formed by two lugs having a spacing from one another and which are arranged to the side of a bore of the hollow fastener, an electrically conductive connection thereby being produced between the fastener element and the sheet metal part; subsequently providing the so-manufactured component assembly with an electrically non-conductive or poorly-conductive protective coating, wherein a mount for the electrical terminal device is formed by said two lugs in the region of the end face of the fastener element to which the electrical terminal device is attached and prevents a rotation of the terminal device relative to the fastener element and the sheet metal part; and screwing a thread-forming or thread-cutting screw through the cut-out of the electrical terminal device and into the hollow fastener element, forming or cutting therein a thread by the screw-in movement.
