Abstract

A grounding pin for connecting a vehicle body to a pole of a vehicle battery includes a pin plate and a pin shaft. The pin shaft protrudes from the pin plate, the pin shaft includes an external thread, and a longitudinal axis of the pin shaft forms a center line of the grounding pin. The pin plate has an installation securing face which points radially outward and which is parallel to a face which passes through the center line. The installation securing face is disposed closer to the center line than a circumferential face of the pin plate. The pin plate has a connection face which points away from the pin shaft and which is matched to the vehicle body for a welding purpose.
