Abstract

A hydrodynamic torque converter includes a converter casing with a support connected on the drive side of the casing. The support includes a receptacle for receiving a connecting element for fastening the converter casing to a component of a drive. The receptacle is formed via an extrusion extending essentially at a right angle to the extension direction of the support and includes an annular collar surrounding a recess.
