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. The profile clamp has a securing feature on the inside of the profile strip, which protrudes into the profile groove and/or from the profile strip base in the direction of the clamp center. A flange connection and a turbocharger are also presented.
