Coupling clamp

A female coupling clamp which is adapted to hold a coupling head of a male coupling element in an automatically latching manner and to fasten itself in a component opening in an automatically latching manner, wherein the coupling clamp comprises the following features:

• a. at least three resiliently formed strip-type coupling arms, which are connected to each other on one side, each providing a fastening end of the coupling clamp and extending opposite to an insertion direction of the male coupling element into the coupling clamp,
• b. the interconnected ends of the coupling arms surround a receiving space in which the coupling head can be releasably latched and which is limited in the insertion direction by the connection between the coupling arms and opposite to the insertion direction by a neck portion which is similar in shape to an inverted truncated pyramid and which is formed by the strip-shaped coupling arms,
• c. the fastening ends each comprise a radially outwardly open receiving groove for an edge of a component opening which is formed by radial supporting faces arranged opposite one another, respectively, so that loads of the coupling clamp in the insertion direction can be diverted in a stabilizing manner into a component, wherein
• d. the interconnected ends of the coupling arms are displaced into the receiving space opposite to the insertion direction, so that the coupling arms are elongated.
