A bayonet joint having a connector with bayonet tabs arranged on the exterior of the connector, a tubular body with at least one external bayonet contour arranged on the exterior of the tubular body and a bayonet ring with inward facing bayonet hooks and at least one inward facing internal bayonet contour. In an assembled state of the bayonet joint, the connector, tubular body and bayonet ring are in a locking orientation relative to one another. The bayonet ring surrounds an outside of the connector and the tubular body in the radial direction and secures the connector and the tubular body against removal from the bayonet ring.

Bayonet connection for connecting a connector to a tubular body, bayonet ring, and tubular body

The invention involves a heat exchanger in modular circuit board design, with a connecting plate, in particular a charge air cooler, which is located in a housing into which the charge air flows in and out, at which the air flows through the charge air cooler, and at which the housing has a mounting opening into which the charge air cooler can be inserted and installed by means of its connecting plate. The construction improves the absorption of oscillation and vibration, if, according to the invention, the body of the heat exchanger is equipped with mounting devices which work together with corresponding mounting devices in the interior of the housing.
