  • Socket device for the touch-proof electrical contacting of a corresponding plug device, plug device and battery module for a high-voltage battery
    Patent number: 11705660
    Abstract: A socket device for electrically contacting a corresponding plug device. The socket device has a first contact part having a first contact surface arranged radially between an outer first and inner second touch protection part, beyond which the first and second touch protection part axially protrude, a centrally arranged coupling unit, a receptacle region for receiving a corresponding third touch protection part of the plug device, and at least one insulating part, which is arranged extending in the radial direction on the first and/or second touch protection part and at a height above the first contact surface in such a way that the at least one insulating part at least partially overlaps with the first receptacle region but does not overlap with the first contact surface in a top view of the socket device.
