High-voltage contact system

A high-voltage contact system comprising:

• two high-voltage contacts that are configured to form a high-voltage connection in a battery-operated vehicle;
• a temperature sensor arranged between the two high-voltage contacts and configured to record a temperature based on temperatures of both of the two high-voltage contacts, and
• a thermally-conductive, electrically-insulating element that is embedded in the temperature sensor and contacts the two high-voltage contacts, the thermally-conductive, electrically-insulating element configured to form a thermal bridge between the two high-voltage contacts and the temperature sensor, wherein at least one of:
• the thermally-conductive, electrically-insulating element is an elastomer, and contact between the thermally-conductive, electrically-insulating element and the two high-voltage contacts is formed by an overmolding of the elastomer over the two high-voltage contacts or an injection molding of the two high-voltage contacts into the elastomer, with the overmolding or injection molding forming an airgap-free thermal bridge between the thermally-conductive, electrically-insulating element and the two high-voltage contacts;
• and
• the thermally-conductive, electrically-insulating element is an elastomer, and the temperature sensor is encapsulated by the elastomer, with an airgap-free thermal bridge formed between the thermally-conductive, electrically-insulating element and the two high-voltage contacts, each of the two high-voltage contacts includes a notch, and the thermally-conductive, electrically-insulating element has two tongues which are pressed into corresponding notches of the two high-voltage contacts to form the airgap-free connections with the two high-voltage contacts.
