Abstract

The invention relates to a plug-in connector part (5) for connecting to a mating plug-in connector part (3), comprising a housing (50) which has a plug-in section (500, 501) for the plug-in connectionto the mating plug-in connector part (3), and at least one contact element (51A, 51B) comprising a shaft section (510), arranged on the plug-in section (500, 501), and designed to electrically contact an associated mating contact element (31) of the mating plug-in connector part (3). The invention also relates to a heat capacity element (54A, 54B) which is arranged on the shaft section (510) of the at least one contact element (51A, 51B), is secured to said shaft section (510), and receives heat from the at least one contact element (51A, 51B). In this way, a plug-in connector part with a contact element is provided, which can have a high current-carrying capacity, for example for use in a charging system for charging an electric vehicle.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a plug connector for connection to a mating plug connector according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique

[0002] This type of plug-in connector includes a housing with a plug-in portion for plug-in connection with a mating plug-in connector, and at least one socket arranged on the plug-in portion and having a shaft portion for mating with the mating portion. The contact element that is electrically contacted by the associated mating contact element of the plug-in connection.

[0003] Such plug-in connections can be used, for example, as charging plugs or charging sockets for charging electrically driven vehicles, also known as electric vehicles. Such a charging socket is arranged, for example, on the vehicle and can be connected in a plug-in manner to an associated mating connector in the form of a charging plug on the cable leading to the charging station, thereby providing a connection between the charging sta...

Embodiment Construction

[0040] figure 1 A charging station 1 for charging an electrically driven vehicle 4 , also called an electric vehicle, is shown. The charging station 1 is suitable for providing charging current in the form of alternating current or direct current, and has a cable 2 connected to the charging station 1 at one end 201 and to a mating plug connector 3 in the form of a charging plug at the other end 200 .

[0041] like figure 2As shown in the enlarged view of , the mating plug connector 3 has plug-in parts 300, 301 on the housing 30, which are used to make the mating plug connector 3 connect with the charging socket on the vehicle 4 in a plug-in manner. The associated plug-in connector 5 of the form snaps into place. In this way, the charging station 1 can be electrically connected to the vehicle 4 in order to conduct a charging current from the charging station 1 to the vehicle 4 .

[0042] In order to realize fast charging of the electric vehicle 4 in the so-called fast charg...
