Abstract
The invention relates to a joining element () for connection to at least one component layer (), comprising a head () having a head supporting surface () for abutment against a component layer and at least one drive feature (), via which the joining element can be rotated. The joining element further comprises a shaft (), which ends via a hole forming element () in a point (), wherein the length of the shaft, from the head supporting surface to the point, is shorter than five times the maximum shaft outer diameter (DMax), wherein the shaft has a holding region (H) for connection to the component layer. A removal region having a removal profile () extends on the shaft, subsequent to the holding region in the direction of the point (), and the removal region starts spaced apart from the head supporting surface at a distance of at least once the maximum shaft outer diameter.
