Abstract

In order to provide a connecting device which allows reliable pre-positioning without restricting too severely the freedom of movement of the components and/or articles that are to be connected together during the assembly and/or the connecting process, it is proposed that the connecting device comprise the following: a connecting element which comprises a main body that is positionable in a component; one or more spring elements for establishing a connection to a counterpart, in particular for insertion into one or more openings in a mating connecting element, wherein the one or more spring elements each comprise the following: a spring portion and/or a stabilizing portion, wherein the spring portion projects away from the main body and/or wherein the stabilizing portion extends from the spring portion in the direction of the main body.
