Expansion connector

An expansion connector for connecting two parts, comprising:

• a bolt with a cylindrical bolt shaft, with a bolt head at one bolt end and with an expansion cone, tapering in the direction towards the bolt head, at the other bolt end;
• and
• a plastics expansion sleeve which is mounted displaceably on the bolt and which has at least two expansion tabs, each of which has a radially outwardly protruding collar at their tab end facing the bolt head;
• wherein the expansion sleeve can be transferred, by a displacement relative to the bolt, from a non-expanded starting position into an expanded end position in which the expansion tabs are radially outwardly expanded by the expansion cone;
• wherein, in the starting position, the expansion tabs bear against the bolt shaft in each case by way of a guide portion whose edge facing the bolt head is axially spaced apart from the tab end facing the bolt head and divides the expansion tabs in each case into a first tab portion facing the bolt head and a second tab portion facing away from the bolt head, and the first tab portions are radially spaced apart from the bolt shaft, and in that, in the end position, the expansion tabs are each pivoted about the edge of the guide portion.
