  • Patent number: 9048588
    Abstract: A connecting apparatus for transmitting high-voltage current in a motor vehicle has a first connection element (4), a second connection element (6), a shielding housing (12) and fasteners (8, 10). The first connection element (4) has a housing (20) having a first insulating housing (21), a first contact (18) connected electrically to an internal conductor (16) of a cable (14), and a shielding arrangement (28) connected to a shield (30) of the cable (14). The shielding arrangement (28) is connected to the shielding housing (12) by a shielding part (32). The second connection element (6) has a second housing (41) having a second insulating housing part (42) with a second contact element (46) connected to a current line element. A weak-current contact arrangement creates a control circuit, and has a ring contact (52) and two spring contacts (60, 62).

  • Patent number: 9017107
    Abstract: A plug-type connector for producing at least one electrical contact, in particular charging plug or heavy-duty plug, having a housing and at least one first contact element arranged in the housing, wherein the housing has a plugging-side end, which is designed for plugging connection to a complementary plug-type connector, and wherein the at least one first contact element has a free end, which faces the plugging-side end, wherein at least one first contact element of the plug-type connector and at least one part of the housing are movable relative to one another between a first position, in which the first contact element is withdrawn into the housing, and a second position, in which the free end of the first contact element is exposed.
