Abstract
The invention relates to a lead seal which is introduced into an opening, having a projection, which shaves off when there is a continued insertion movement, the base body being provided with a hook which can be latched opposite the plane enclosed by the limiting contour of the opening to be sealed. In addition, an arrangement having a housing which can be joined together and having an opening to be sealed by the lead seal is the subject matter of the invention, the lead seal having a base body which is provided with a shaped section which limits, in an interlocking manner, the ability of the lead seal to move in the insertion direction. Such lead seals or arrangements have until now been deficient in terms of the intended evidence function. In this case, the invention provides a remedy by the lead seal being fixed to the second housing part opposite the plane enclosed by the limiting contour of the opening to be sealed. In addition, the hook may be in the form of a snap hook.
