A fastening clamp for connecting a carrier part (13) and an add-on part (14) has a plug-through leg (1), with a plug-through sleeve (5), and a threaded leg (2), which is connected to a thread unit (10). The plug-through sleeve (5) extends away from the threaded leg (2) and has an effective overall height which is greater than the thickness of an add-on part (14). Engagement elements (11) are present on that side of the thread leg (2) which is directed towards the plug-through leg (1). In a pre-assembly arrangement, the legs (1, 2) are spaced apart by a distance which is large enough to allow a carrier part (13) to be positioned between the legs (1, 2) such that it is essentially free of engagement with the engagement elements (11), in which case, once a screw has been screwed into an end position, the engagement elements (11) thus engage with the carrier part (13) such that the fastening clamp is connected in a non-displaceable manner to the carrier part (13). This achieves a certain degree of positioning freedom on the carrier part (13) and, for tolerance-compensating purposes, movement of the add-on part (14).
A fastening clamp for connecting a carrier part (13) and an add-on part (14) to a pass-through leg (1) having a pass-through sleeve (5), through which a screw can be guided and a threaded leg (2) arranged opposite to the pass-through leg (1), which is connected to a threaded sleeve (10) aligned facing away from the pass-through leg (1), into which the screw can be screwed, in which the pass-through sleeve (5) extends away from the threaded leg (2) and has an effective overall height that is greater than the thickness of the add-on part (14), in which engagement elements (11) are provided, and the pass-through leg (1) as well as the threaded leg (2) have a distance prior to accomplishing the connection in one arrangement of the fastening clamp that is so great that a carrier part (13) can be positioned essentially free of engagement with the engagement elements (11) between the pass-through leg (1) and the threaded leg (2), so that the engagement elements (11) engage in such a way with the carrier part (13) after a screw is screwed in an end position that the fastening clamp is connected to the carrier part (13) in a non-displaceable manner, wherein the pass-through leg (1) and the threaded leg (2) are mutually connected to each other via a connecting section (3) positioned on the side edges of the pass-through leg (1) and the threaded leg (2).
