Abstract
A load contact module for a charging plug-in connection includes: a load contact, which is designed to electromechanically contact a load contact to be inserted and/or slid on; a mounting portion, which is designed to connect the load contact module to a support of a charging plug and/or of a charging socket; and a temperature sensor for the temperature monitoring of a charging process, wherein the temperature sensor has a distance from the mounting portion.
Claims9
A load-contact module for a plug-in charging connection, comprising:
- a first load contact, which is designed to electromechanically contact a second load contact to be inserted and/or slid on the first load contact;
- a mounting portion, which is designed to connect the load-contact module to a support of a charging plug and/or of a charging socket;
- a temperature sensor for monitoring a temperature of a charging process;
- and
- an insertion opening for receiving the second load contact to be inserted and/or slid on the first load contact;
- wherein the first load contact extends between a first end and a second end thereof in a direction of an axis of the load-contact module, wherein the first end of the first load contact is associated with the mounting portion and the second end is remote from the first end;
- wherein the temperature sensor is arranged between the second end of the first load contact and the insertion opening in the direction of the axis of the load-contact module;
- and
- wherein the temperature sensor is at a first distance from the mounting portion in the direction of the axis of the load-contact module, the insertion opening is at a second distance from the mounting portion in the direction of the axis of the load-contact module, and the first distance is less than the second distance.
