Abstract
A flat gasket for sealing off a region, especially for sealing off a region bordered by a cylinder head cap, includes an elastic material that effects the sealing function and at least one pass-through region for passing through a conductor such that the conductor can extend, in the mounted condition of the flat gasket, from outside the region to be sealed off into the interior of such region. The flat gasket also includes a shaped tongue connected to the pass through region and extending into the region to be sealed off, the shaped tongue having opposed flat sides and being deformable at least vertically relative to the plane of the seal, and the tongue supporting on its flat sides at least one conductor guiding- and/or conductor securing-element.
