Estimating the term…
A connector for determining a temperature of a contact point includes a connector contact element for electrically contacting the connector with a mating connector contact element of a mating connector at the contact point. The connector includes a connector tap for tapping a connector potential at the connector contact element and a mating connector contact probe for determining a mating connector potential of the mating connector contact element. The connector determines the temperature of the contact point from a potential difference between the connector potential and the mating connector potential.
Connector having an output unit for connecting to an evaluation unit for determining a temperature of a contact point, the connector comprising:
An evaluation unit for monitoring a temperature of a contact point of a connector contact element for electrically connecting a connector with a mating connector contact element of a mating connector at the contact point, the evaluation unit comprising:
A method of determining a temperature of a contact point of a connector, the connector for electrically contacting a connector contact element with a mating connector contact element of a mating connector at the contact point, the method comprising,
