    摘要: A connection unit connects an electrical supply line to an exhaust-gas heater of an exhaust system. The connection unit includes a connection element having an electrically conductive connection-element body. The connection element has an exhaust-gas heater connection region in a first axial end region and has a supply-line connection region in a second axial end region. The supply-line connection region includes an end portion of the connection-element body and a radial projection adjoining the end portion. A carrier element fixes the connection unit to an exhaust-system component. The carrier element has a carrier-element opening wherethrough the connection-element body passes. A support unit axially and radially supports the connection element on the carrier element.

    摘要: An exhaust system component includes stacking features that prevents binding among adjacent components in a stack. The stacking features are arranged along a shell of the exhaust system component, such as along a sidewall extending from a panel of the shell. The stacking features can be arranged to define a gap between opposing surfaces of stacked shells. The stacking features can be in the form of indentations and can be formed in curved portions of the sidewall to conserve material thickness, which can be critical in exhaust system applications. The stacking features can result in a stack of components with uniform spacing among the components of the stack.
