Method for resisting welding of a first component to a second component

A method for resistance welding a first component to a second component, the method comprising:

• inserting at least a connecting region of the second component into an opening of the first component by an insertion distance along an insertion direction;
• welding the first component to the second component while inserting at least the connecting region of the second component into the opening of the first component by the insertion distance;
• and
• limiting the insertion of the connecting region into the opening to the insertion distance, with an adjustable mechanical external distance limiter spaced apart from the first and the second component in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, without contacting the first component or the second component with the adjustable mechanical external distance limiter, wherein:
• an internal dimension of the opening and an external dimension of the connecting region are configured similar to a press fit with each other.
