We investigate the electron-boson interaction in KFe2As2 by point-contact spectroscopy. The point-contact spectrum or the derivative of the differential resistance dR/dV exhibits a pronounced maximum at about 20 meV and surprisingly a featureless behavior at lower and higher energies in our point-contact spectra. We discuss phonon and nonphonon (excitonic) mechanisms for the origin of this peak, which may be important for the understanding of serious puzzles of superconductivity in this type of compounds.
