Abstract
A current distribution device for a high-voltage network, in particular in a motor vehicle, includes at least two first connections that can be locked in such a way that, after a locking device is closed, a connector plugged into the connection can no longer be removed, wherein the first connections have a first locking plate as a common locking device.

A current distribution device for a high-voltage network, comprising:
- a first locking plate movable in a displacement direction between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first locking plate is held in the open position and in the closed position with an elastic bias, said first locking plate forming a common locking device for at least two interlockable first connections, said common locking device—when closed—preventing removal of a connector inserted into the at least two first connections, wherein the first locking plate is configured in the closed position for engagement in a locking recess of the connector, and wherein the first locking plate comprises at least one groove extending in the displacement direction and having a center step in a surface facing the at least two first connections, wherein the first locking plate is supported by a spring which is tensioned when moving across the center step.
A motor vehicle, comprising a high-voltage network with a current distribution device, wherein the current distribution device comprises:
- a first locking plate movable in a displacement direction between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first locking plate is held in the open position and in the closed position with an elastic bias, said first locking plate forming a common locking device for at least two interlockable first connections, said common locking device—when closed—preventing removal of a connector inserted into the at least two first connections, wherein the first locking plate is configured in the closed position for engagement in a locking recess of the connector, and wherein the first locking plate comprises at least one groove extending in the displacement direction and having a center step in a surface facing the at least two first connections, wherein the first locking plate is supported by a spring which is tensioned when moving across the center step.
