Furthermore, the base body 110 has at least one eccentric tool receptacle 160 for at least temporary engagement of a tool, preferably for rotating the base body 110 about its axis of rotation A when it is mounted in a cup bore. The tool receptacle 160 is designed as a recess or as a through-hole 161. The tool receptacle 160 extends from the top 112 towards the bottom 113. In the embodiment according to... Fig. 1 to Fig. Figure 3 shows that the recess 161 has a rectangular opening on its upper surface 112. The cross-section of the recess 161 changes in the direction of the axis of rotation A. Towards the lower surface 113, the cross-section tapers so that a tool, for example a screwdriver or the like, has an optimal fit in the tool recess 160, depending on the insertion depth into the tool holder. To create a connector 10, the spring clip 300 is inserted into the spring holder 130. An example of a spring clip is shown in Fig. Figures 4 to 6 are shown. Preferably, the eccentric unit 100 has a rotationally symmetric outer contour, preferably with respect to the axis A, at least in the area of ​​the outer surface or casing or side wall 111.

[0026] Fig. Figure 4 schematically shows in a perspective view an embodiment of a spring clip 300, Fig. Figure 5 schematically shows the embodiment according to Fig. 4 in a side view and Fig. Figure 6 schematically shows the embodiment according to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 in a top view. The spring clip 300 is designed as an elastic spring clip 300. The spring clip 300 is preferably made of a metallic material. Other materials are possible. For example, in one embodiment, the spring clip is made of a plastic as a plastic injection-molded part. The spring clip 300 comprises a base section 310. This extends between the eccentric unit 100, if the spring clip 300 is connected to the eccentric unit 100, and a component and / or another eccentric unit 100, if the spring clip 300 is connected to the component or the eccentric unit 100 accordingly. Furthermore, the spring clip 300 comprises in the Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figures 4-6, two engagement sections 330 are provided, which are designed to engage the spring receptacle 130 of the eccentric unit 100 and / or a cup bore of the component to be joined.

The spring receptacle 130 is dimensioned larger, at least in the circumferential direction around axis A, than the width of the engagement section 330, so that the engagement section 330 can move within the spring receptacle 130 or is movably mounted. Fig. In Figure 7, the engagement section 330 is located at an edge of the spring receptacle 130. The base section 310 adjoining the engagement section 330 is arranged in the area of ​​the eccentric unit 100 between the top surface 112 and the cover section 142, thus preventing or hindering accidental removal of the spring clip 300. The cover section 142 and the top surface 112 therefore form an axial locking mechanism in the direction of axis A. In the embodiment shown, the eccentric unit 100 features Fig. Figures 7 to 12 provide an additional recess 180. The recess 180 is similar in design to the tool holder 160 and extends from the upper surface 112 to the lower surface 113. The recess 180 preferably has a rectangular cross-section, but can also have other cross-sectional shapes. By inserting a tool into the tool holder 160, the eccentric unit 100 can be rotated about the axis A, particularly relative to the spring clamp 300. The eccentric rotation applies force to the spring clamp 300 at a fixed free end. The engagement section 330 is moved along the spring holder 130, as shown in the figures. Fig. 10 to 12 are shown.
