High-voltage connector having high-voltage tab contact with touch protection

A method for assembling a high-voltage electrical connector comprising:

• inserting at least one high-voltage contact means, coming from one side, into an electrically insulating connector housing, which is open there;
• and
• centering the high voltage contact means in the connector housing;
• wherein when the high-voltage contact means is moved forward into a final assembly position in the connector housing, a touch protection means arranged in the connector housing is plug-assembled on a free longitudinal end portion of the high-voltage contact means,
• wherein a stud-like plug base of the high-voltage contact means is shaped as a fastening rail running in the width direction, and
• wherein the touch protection means is shaped as a slide which is slipped in the width direction onto the fastening rail with a plug socket designed as a slotted plug socket.

An electrical high-voltage connector for an electrical high-voltage connection comprising:

• an electrically insulating connector housing;
• and
• at least one electrical high-voltage terminal accommodated therein, wherein the high-voltage terminal includes an electrical high-voltage tab contact means extending in a longitudinal direction and an electrically insulating touch protection means provided on a free longitudinal end portion of the high-voltage tab contact means, wherein the high-voltage tab contact means has, in the free longitudinal end portion, at least one stud-like plug base arranged in a width direction of the high-voltage tab contact means, and wherein the touch protection means has at least one plug socket which is at least partially complementary thereto, the at least one plug base being plugged together with the at least one plug socket,
• wherein the at least one stud-like plug base of the electrical high-voltage tab contact means is shaped as a fastening rail running in the width direction, and
• wherein the touch protection means is shaped as a slide which is slipped in the width direction onto the fastening rail with the at least one plug socket designed as a slotted plug socket.
