    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector (3), comprising an anchoring portion and a functional portion rigidly connected to the anchoring portion. The anchoring portion comprises thermoplastic material in a solid state, wherein the functional portion defines a coupling-in-face, wherein the connector (3) is equipped for being anchored in an object (1) by mechanical vibration and a pressing force being coupled into the connector (3) via the coupling-in face while the anchoring portion extends into the object (1). The vibration and pressing force are transferred into the anchoring portion until a flow portion of the anchoring portion is flowable and pressed into structures of the object (1), whereby, after re-solidification of the flow portion, the anchoring portion is anchored in the object (1) by a positive-fit connection. The functional portion comprises a functional structure.
