Electrically conductive contact element for an electric plug connector

A charging station for electrically charging a motor vehicle, comprising:

• a stationary unit;
• the a plug connector having at least two electrically conductive contact elements, wherein each of the at least two electrically conductive contact elements comprises:
• a contact region for making detachable electric contact with a mating contact element of a mating plug connector;
• a cable connecting region for connecting a cable to the electrically conductive contact element and
• a cooling cavity, wherein
• the cooling cavity opens into a distal opening of the cable connecting region arranged opposite the contact region,
• the cooling cavity extends into a contact pin of the contact region, and
• a distal opening of a radially inner tube of the cable is guided through the distal opening of the cable connecting region and arranged inside the cooling cavity;
• and
• a charging cable arranged between the plug connector and the stationary unit and comprising at least two cables arranged on the at least two electrically conductive contact elements.

An electrically conductive contact element for an electric plug connector with a cable connected to the electrically conductive contact element, comprising:

• a contact region for making detachable electric contact with a mating contact element of a mating plug connector;
• a cable connecting region for connecting the cable to the electrically conductive contact element;
• and
• a cooling cavity, wherein
• the cooling cavity opens into a distal opening of the cable connecting region arranged opposite the contact region,
• the cable connecting region comprises a sealing section, wherein a distal end of a tube of the cable surrounding the radially inner tube is arranged in a fluid-tight manner on the sealing section, and
• a distal opening of a radially inner tube of the cable is guided through the distal opening of the cable connecting region and arranged inside the cooling cavity.
