Method for producing a component connection and component connection

A method for producing a component connection, the method comprising the acts of:

• providing a first component;
• providing a male connecting element in a form of at least one ball or at least one spherical element;
• and
• pressing the at least one ball or the at least one spherical element into a material of the first component such that a form-fitting and/or a frictionally engaged connection is produced between the first component and the connecting element, by which the connecting element is connected to the first component in a translationally and rotationally fixed manner;
• wherein the at least one ball or the at least one spherical element is pressed into the first component from a first side of the first component,
• wherein a counter holding is undertaken, via a counter holding tool, during the pressing of the at least one ball or the at least one spherical element into the first component, from a second side of the first component, the second side being opposite the first side,
• wherein during the act of pressing the at least one ball or the at least one spherical element into the material of the first component, the at least one ball or the at least one spherical element flows and is plastically deformed,
• wherein the counter holding tool has a depression and wherein when the at least one ball or the at least one spherical element flows and is plastically deformed the at least one ball or the at least one spherical element flows into the depression of the counter holding tool.
