Abstract
A connection unit connects an electrical supply line to an exhaust-gas heater of an exhaust system. The connection unit includes a connection element having an electrically conductive connection-element body. The connection element has an exhaust-gas heater connection region in a first axial end region and has a supply-line connection region in a second axial end region. The supply-line connection region includes an end portion of the connection-element body and a radial projection adjoining the end portion. A carrier element fixes the connection unit to an exhaust-system component. The carrier element has a carrier-element opening wherethrough the connection-element body passes. A support unit axially and radially supports the connection element on the carrier element.
