Abstract
An electrical contact element (1) for transmitting high currents has a connection region (A) and a contact region (K). The connection region (A) has a cylindrical opening (2) and the contact region (K) has a cylindrical passage opening (3). The opening (2) and the passage opening (3) are oriented orthogonally relative to each other and a peripheral contact strip (4) is arranged within the cylindrical passage opening (3).

A system, comprising:
- a first electrical contact element (1) being a solid body made of copper, including
- a first connection region (A) and
- a first contact region (K),
- wherein the first connection region (A) has a first cylindrical opening (2) and the first contact region (K) has a first cylindrical passage opening (3),
- wherein the first cylindrical opening (2) and the first cylindrical passage opening (3) are oriented orthogonally to one another,
- wherein the first contact region (K) has a plugging side (ST) and an outlet side (AS), and
- wherein the plugging side (ST) has a first recess (6) and the outlet side (AS) has a first elevation (7);
- a first peripheral contact strip (4) arranged within the first cylindrical passage opening (3), but not extending along the entire first cylindrical passage opening (3);
- a second electrical contact element (1′) being a solid body made of copper, including
- a second connection region (A) and
- a second contact region (K),
- wherein the second connection region (A) has a second cylindrical opening (2) and the second contact region (K) has a second cylindrical passage opening (3),
- wherein the second cylindrical opening (2) and the second cylindrical passage opening (3) are oriented orthogonally to one another, and
- wherein the second contact region (K) has a plugging side (ST) and a outlet side (AS),
- wherein the plugging side (ST) has a second recess (6) and the outlet side (AS) has a second elevation (7),
- wherein the first elevation (7) on the outlet side (AS) of the first electrical contact element (1) is inserted into the second recess (6) of the plugging side (ST) of the second electrical contact element (1′) in one of a plurality of possible orientations;
- and
- a second peripheral contact strip (4) arranged within the second cylindrical passage opening (3), but not extending along the entire second cylindrical passage opening (3).
