Abstract

In the case of a fuel pump, a plug for fixing electric contacts is manufactured from a material which is capable of swelling with fuel, and is inserted into a receptacle of a connecting piece by being fitted therein. Furthermore, the plug and the connecting piece have latching means for simplifying the pre-assembly. The connecting piece requires a particularly low number of components and can be manufactured cost-effectively.
