Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a plug-in system for producing a plug-in connection, including a plug and a socket. The socket includes a contact element, a contact surface, and an electrically conductive sealing element, which rests against the contact wall and is arranged between the contact element and the contact surface. The plug-in system has a monitoring unit which is set up to detect whether an electrical connection is present via the sealing element in the assembled state of the plug-in connection.
Claims16
A plug-in system for producing a plug-in connection, having a socket for receiving a plug, the socket comprising a contact element, a contact surface and an electrically conductive sealing element, the sealing element being arranged between the contact element and the contact surface, the sealing element establishing an electrical connection between the contact surface and the contact element in an assembled state of the plug-in connection, the sealing element being designed such that the electrical connection between the contact element and the contact surface is interrupted in an unstressed state of the sealing element,
- wherein the plug-in system has a monitoring unit which is connected to the contact element and the contact surface, and
- wherein the monitoring unit is set up to detect whether the electrical connection is present via the sealing element in the assembled state of the plug-in connection.
