Abstract
An electrical contact element for a car charging plug connector is disclosed, which electrical contact element has a contact part and a connection part, wherein the connection part can be connected to an electrical conductor of a cable. Cooling liquid can be delivered to the contact element. As a result, the heat produced on the contact element is extracted directly. Therefore higher currents can be transmitted by such a contact element than by known contact elements.
Claims14
An electric contact element, comprising:
- a contact part and a connecting part, wherein the connecting part is adapted to be connected to an electrical conductor of a cable, wherein coolant can be conveyed to the contact element, wherein the electric contact element has an at least two-part design and the connecting part and the contact part are each formed by separate components which can be reversibly connected to each other, and wherein the connecting part has a cavity through which coolant can flow.
