ABSTRACT:
A connection element for attaching components such as trim parts to a structure of an aircraft, includes a retainer on the component, on which retainer an insertion pin is held so as to be adjustable to a limited extent in at least a Z-translational direction in relation to a component surface and mates a receiver coupled to the structure. The receiver has a recess contoured for receiving a trunnion portion of the insertion pin, providing a snap connection between the receiver and the insertion pin. The receiver on the structure includes a support flange, which is capable of coupling with a retainer mounted on the structure such that, the receiver rests flat against the retainer on the structure, and is adjustably held and attachable in a XY-plane that is arranged substantially perpendicularly in relation to the Z-translational direction.
