Connecting element

A component connection, comprising:

• a first component and a second component mutually connected by way of a connection element, the first component having a longitudinal shape that extends along a first direction and the second component having a longitudinal shape that extends along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction,
• wherein the connection element comprises:
• a plurality of solid spheres directly welded to one another at respective spherical surfaces thereof, free surfaces of the plurality of solid spheres being completely spherical, wherein
• the plurality of solid spheres define a connection node having a t-shape formed by a first sphere, a second sphere, a third sphere, a fourth sphere, and a fifth sphere,
• the t-shape of the connection node being formed by the first sphere, the second sphere, and the third sphere arranged linearly one behind another along the second direction, and the fourth sphere and the fifth sphere being laterally welded to opposite sides of the third sphere, wherein
• the first sphere is welded to the first component, and
• the fourth sphere is connected to the second component via a clipping element clipped on an exterior surface of the fourth sphere.
