Abstract

A device is described for ensuring the installation of a component at the designated installation location of said component in a system, made up of two parts, the first part of the device being attached to the component, and the second part of the device being attached to the system to which the component will be attached, and, during installation of the component into the system at the designated installation location of said component, the first part of the device and the second part of the device interlock precisely and enable assembly, in that the first part of the device and the second part of the device interact exclusively mechanically and exclusively enable the ensuring of the installation of the component at the designated installation location of the component in the system. When installing the component at a non-designated installation location on the system, the interaction of the first part of the device and the second part of the device, which form a poka-yoke system with each other, prevents installation.
