It has a housing with an essentially cylindrical section and, at its front, a collar projecting radially outward and beyond the cylindrical section. The cylindrical section is provided with at least one all-around groove in which a ring of an elastically deformable material is present. When the control element is inserted into the front panel, it is fixed into the opening by virtue of the fact that a support surface of the collar rests on the front plate on the one hand and by the ring being pressed against the lateral surface of the groove by the lower edge of the opening on the other hand.
