Abstract
A motor vehicle latch, in particular a motor vehicle side-door latch, comprising a latch plate and comprising a locking mechanism which is mounted on the latch plate and consists substantially of a catch and pawl. The latch plate has an inlet jaw for a latch holder that enters therein and interacts with the locking mechanism. The inlet jaw is reinforced by a circumferential flange. According to the invention, the flange has at least one interruption which completely or partially reduces its installation height in order to compensate for deformations of the latch plate caused by tensile forces.
