Abstract

A seal element for connecting a first component and a second component in a fluid-tight and electrically conductive manner. In this case, the seal element has an electrically conductive support element with a holding region and a main seal region which is angled relative to the holding region. The holding region has a first contact surface on one side for contacting the first component and a second contact surface on the other side for contacting the second component. At least one respective spring tongue which is formed integrally with the support element extends from the first contact surface and the second contact surface in the direction facing away from the respective other contact surface.
