The connecting element has corresponding locating elements ( ), and assembly is carried out by deforming the holding devices ( ) or by configuring the holding devices in the form of a bayonet lock. The integration of the holding devices ( ) into the end plate ( ) of the heat exchanger has the advantage of reducing manufacturing costs and simplifying assembly.
