Abstract

A device (10) has a locating face (22) offset laterally with respect to the pilot section (16) and extending substantially tangentially, which, when the pilot section (16) is inserted into a housing hole, interacts with a corresponding locating face of the housing in such a way as to prevent rotation, wherein the locating face (22) of the connecting device (10) is formed with a plastically deformable shoulder (24) on each of the locating-face areas lying tangentially opposite each other and/or the circumferential region of the pilot section (16) is formed by a plurality of radially elastic spigots (20) mutually spaced in the circumferential direction. This enables a functionally optimized and zero-play interaction between the corresponding locating faces.
