  • Patent number: 10547131
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical connection apparatus for coupling to a corresponding connecting device and for transmitting electrical energy. The electrical connection apparatus includes at least one power contact arranged in a housing of the apparatus and connected to the housing, and at least one temperature sensor for determining a temperature of the power contact. The apparatus further includes a printed circuit board arranged in the housing of the electrical connection apparatus between the power contact and a retaining section of the housing, with the printed circuit board being clamped between the power contact and the retaining section by means of a spring-force apparatus arranged between the power contact and the retaining section. The printed circuit board is thermally coupled to the power contact directly or by means of the spring-force apparatus. The at least one temperature sensor is arranged on the printed circuit board.
