Profile clamp, flange connection, and turbocharger comprising same

A flange connection comprising a first and a second component flange which are arranged opposite one another in a longitudinal direction, wherein the first and second component flanges each have a cutout, and comprising a profile clamp,

• the profile clamp comprising a profile strip which extends in a circumferential direction about a clamp center and has two clamping heads which are connected to one another via a clamping element, wherein a profile groove running in the circumferential direction is formed on an inside of the profile strip and has a profile strip base arranged at least in portions between groove flanks of the profile groove, wherein the clamp has a securing feature on the inside of the profile strip, which
• a) protrudes into the profile groove and/or
• b) protrudes from the profile strip base in the direction of the clamp center,
• wherein the profile strip is produced by shaping a metal plate and has a V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section;
• wherein the securing feature is formed integrally with the profile strip by shaping, and
• wherein the securing feature protrudes from the profile strip base between the groove flanks,
• and wherein the profile clamp clamps the two component flanges together, wherein the securing feature protrudes into the cutouts of the first and second component flanges and thereby prevents twisting between the first and the second component flanges.
