Abstract
A positional fixation element is located on a first structural component and positionally fixes a second structural component, which is to be joined to the first component at a predetermined orientation relative thereto. The positional fixation element is substantially in the form of a stud, which protrudes beyond a reference plane of the first component. The positional fixation element is produced by means of a mandrel-like tool, which is pressed into the first component on an incline relative to the reference plane. In the process, material is displaced, so that on the one hand a groove-like indentation is formed, and on the other hand, an accumulation of material having a shape corresponding to that of the positional fixation element is created above the reference plane. The positional fixation element is suitable for positionally fixing electrical circuits, for example, or other components when glued or soldered onto the first component.
