Applying functional element to deformable metal part using high pressure forming technique, by pressing onto dome-shaped protrusion so that front surface lies on side facing away from protrusion

摘要

When the functional element is applied, it presses against a dome-shaped protrusion (76), and is brought into a position in which its front side (15) lies on the side away from the dome-shaped protrusion, in front of a plane of entry (74) by an amount that is at least half the metal thickness, and preferably a multiple of the metal thickness. Independent claims are included for a functional element; and assembly component.
