Patent ID: 7713086

Claim:
A plug connector ( 10 ) on a component ( 30 ), which can be fastened in a hole ( 53 ) in a base-plate ( 50 ), with a shaft ( 15 ), which comprises a flat profile ( 33 ), the end ( 20 ) of which, after insertion, projects out of the hole ( 53 ) at the rear surface ( 52 ) of the plate; where the end of the shaft ( 20 ) is followed by a shaft section ( 13 ) which is wider than the diameter ( 54 ) of the hole and which has an opening ( 14 ) in the flat profile ( 33 ); and where the opening ( 14 ) divides the shaft section ( 13 ) into two sidepieces ( 11 , 12 ), which move elastically with respect to each other in the plane of the flat profile ( 33 ) and after insertion clamp the shaft ( 15 ) tightly in the hole ( 53 ) in the plate ( 50 ), wherein the two sidepieces ( 11 , 12 ) are designed differently from each other, the one sidepiece ( 11 ) comprising a longer longitudinal course ( 21 ) than the other ( 12 ), for which reason this section ( 13 ) of the shaft consists of a long sidepiece ( 11 ) and a short sidepiece ( 12 ); where the end ( 20 ) of the shaft has an undercut head ( 40 ), which, after insertion, grips an edge ( 57 ) of the plate ( 50 ) forming the boundary of the hole ( 53 ) from underneath.
