Abstract: A damping element for a plug-in connector is described, the plug-in connector comprising a socket and a connector pin pluggable into the socket. The damping element is configured to be disposed inside of the socket and comprises a first bearing face adapted for lying flat against the bottom of the socket and a second bearing face adapted for lying flat against the front face of the connector pin. Either a first shaft is attached at or integrally molded with the first bearing face or a second shaft is attached at or integrally molded with the second bearing face. The damping element is adapted for providing a damping effective in the axial direction between the connector pin and the socket.

Abstract: For manufacturing a gas generator (1), a tubular body (10) having an opening (14) in a circumferential wall (12) and a housing part (16) having an attachment end (26) are provided. The geometry of a proximate rim (20) of the opening (14) and that of the attachment end (26) are coordinated such that a first contact region encircling the opening (14) and a second contact region on the attachment end (26), which is circumferentially closed, are formed. The housing part (16) is placed onto the tubular body (10) such that the first contact region is in contact with the second contact region. Then the body (10) and the housing part (16) are joined to each other by capacitor discharge welding.
