Abstract: A high-current transmission device for conductive charging of the batteries of electric vehicles has a socket with an integrated electromechanical switching function and at least one contactor. The contactor is configured without terminal contacts on the side facing the plug-and-socket connection and is part of the socket. The terminal contacts are located on a removable plug that is provided with plug contacts. A modular charging station system for conductive charging of the batteries of electric vehicles has a base unit, a master module, and a user module, with the base unit being configured without electronics and having at least one clamping device for the power feed and compartments for accommodating the master module and the user module. The master module and the user module form a high-current transmission device, with the master module having a socket and the user module having a plug that corresponds to the socket of the master module.
