1. An internal conductor device for a waveguide radiator, in particular for a waveguide radiator with at least one slotted waveguide, with at least one support rail, with at least one dielectric unit that is arranged on the at least one support rail and comprises at least one dielectric element, and with at least one internal conductor that is arranged on the at least one dielectric unit,
wherein the at least one internal conductor is fixed at least substantially mechanically on the at least one dielectric element and/or that the at least one dielectric element is fixed at least substantially mechanically on the at least one support rail,
the internal conductor device further comprising at least one form-fitting and/or force-fitting element, which is configured for fixing the at least one internal conductor mechanically on the at least one dielectric element, wherein the at least one dielectric element has at least one recess and the at least one form-fitting and/or force-fitting element is configured to latch in the at least one recess of the dielectric element.
