Abstract

A device (10) has a contact surface (22) arranged laterally offset and essentially extending tangentially in relation to an insertion section (16), which, on introduction of the insertion section (16) into a housing opening, interoperates with a corresponding contact surface of the housing providing torsional stability, with the contact surface (22) of the connecting device (10) being embodied at areas of the contact surface tangentially opposite one another in each case with a plastic deformable contact surface projection (24) and/or the circumferential area of the insertion section having an annular closed area of the cylindrical surface on which a number of elastic, sprung, centering projections (20), projecting radially from the area of the cylindrical surface are provided which are arranged at intervals from one another around the circumference. This makes possible a functionally-optimized and tight-fitting interoperation between the corresponding contact surfaces.
