Patent number: 9048588Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2013Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignees: Dr. Ing. h.c.
