ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method for creating an electrically conductive connection between an electric terminal device having a cavity, such as a cable shoe, and a sheet metal part. According to said method, a hollow fixing element is riveted to the sheet metal part to prevent torsion, thus producing an electrically conductive connection between the fixing element and the sheet metal part and the assembled component is then provided with an electrically non-conductive or poorly conductive protective coating, such as for example a lacquer coating or powder coating. Said method is characterised in that a receptacle for the electric terminal device is configured in the vicinity of the front face of the fixing element, to which the electric terminal device is attached, said receptacle preventing the torsion of the terminal device in relation to the fixing element and the sheet metal part and that a thread forming or cutting screw is screwed through the cavity of the electric terminal device into the hollow fixing element, said screwing action forming or cutting a thread. The invention also relates to a corresponding fixing element and an assembled component that is produced in this manner.
