  • the contact element is designed as a coil spring.
  • the mating connector is a sword connector, male blade or contact blade.
  • a mechanically particularly simple and at the same time functionally reliable construction is achieved in that the helical spring is arranged such that a central longitudinal axis of the helical spring is aligned parallel to a straight line.
  • An easy assembly of the high-current connector is achieved by providing two, three, four or more coil springs, wherein the central longitudinal axes of two, three, four or more coil springs are aligned parallel to each other.
  • a particularly high number of contact points with a correspondingly large total contact area is achieved by the fact that the at least one Coil spring is arranged such that it electrically and mechanically contacts the housing and the mating connector with radially outer sides of turns of the coil spring.
  • a helical spring which is elastically deformable in the radial direction or in the direction perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the helical spring and thereby provides a corresponding contact pressure in the radial direction, is obtained by virtue of a central longitudinal axis of at least one turn, in particular of all turns, of the helical spring a central longitudinal axis of the coil spring is tilted by a predetermined angle greater than zero.
  • a particularly simple installation of the high-current connector is achieved in that in the housing in the space for receiving the mating connector, a support member made of an electrically insulating material for holding the at least one coil spring arranged at a predetermined position and adapted to receive the mating connector.
  • a functionally secure mounting of the coil spring at a predetermined location with possibly defined orientation of an elliptical example elliptical in cross-section coil spring obtained by the support member for each coil spring has a pin with a free end, on each of which a coil spring is arranged such that the pin axially in engages the turns of the coil spring.
  • a simple assembly of the coil springs on the support member is achieved by the fact that the support member is formed in two parts.
  • a particularly good mechanical fixation of the coil spring is achieved in that the support member has recesses, wherein at least one coil spring is arranged such that this electrically and mechanically contacts a recess by cross-recessing the housing and protrudes into a space within the housing for the mating connector.
  • a particularly good contact pressure of the electrical contact between housing and mating connector is achieved in that a radial diameter of the at least one helical spring perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the helical spring is greater than a distance between the housing and plugged into the housing mating connector.
  • the housing 12 is formed on a cable-side end 16 opposite the plug-in end for electrical and mechanical connection to an electric power cable (not shown).
  • the mating connector 12 is designed for electrical and mechanical connection to an electric power cable (not shown).
  • each contact element 18 in the form of coil springs made of an electrically conductive material are arranged and designed such that the coil springs 18 an electrical contact between the housing 10 and in the Make housing 10 inserted mating connector 12.
  • An exemplary embodiment of the coil springs 18 will be described below with reference to FIGS FIGS. 9 and 10 described in more detail. In the Fig. 1 to 8 these coil springs 18 are shown only schematically for the sake of a clear and simplified illustration.
  • a support member 20 is provided for the fixed arrangement of the coil springs 18 in the housing 10 at a predetermined location and in a predetermined position relative to the housing 10. This is with the preassembled coil springs 18 in the opening 14 of the housing 10 can be inserted and locked in the housing 10.
  • the support member 20 encloses a space for receiving the mating connector 12.
  • the support member 20 is arranged and formed in the housing 10 such that the mating connector 12 is inserted into the support member 20, as in particular from Fig. 5 seen.
  • the support member 20 is composed in two parts of a first support member 22 and a second support member 24.
  • the first support member 22 has pins 26 which are formed integrally with the first support member 22 and each having a free end 28. These pins 26 serve to hold the coil springs 18 and are arranged in recesses 30 of the support member 20.
  • the coil springs 18 are fitted over the free ends 28 on the pins 26 and then the first support member 22 and the second support member 24 are assembled. This preassembled unit of support members 22, 24 and coil springs 18 is then inserted into the opening 14 of the housing 10 and snaps into the housing 10 a. This condition is in particular out Fig. 3 and 4 seen.
  • the coil springs 18 with their radially outer sides of their turns, the housing 10 mechanically and electrically contact. Furthermore, the coil springs 18 protrude into the space within the housing 10 or within the support member 20 into which the mating connector 12 is inserted. The state with plugged mating connector is in particular from Fig. 5 seen. Here it can also be seen that the coil springs 18 are clamped with inserted mating connector 12 between this and an inner wall of the housing 10. In other words, the coil springs 18 are elastically radially compressed in the radial direction against a spring force.
  • the correspondingly resulting restoring force of the coil springs 18 provides for a corresponding contact pressure at the points at which the windings electrically contact and mechanically contact the housing 10 and the mating connector 12. This is on opposite Outside of the turns of the coil springs 18 of the case.
  • the plurality of turns of the coil springs 18 provide a corresponding plurality of contact points between the coil springs 18 and the housing 10 on the one hand and between the coil springs 18 and the mating connector 12 on the other.
  • the current flow through the high-current connector is thus distributed over a plurality of individual turns of the coil springs 18, so that the individual turns of the coil springs 18 each have to transmit only a small proportion of the total electric current.
  • the coil springs 18 pass through the recesses 30 of the support member 20 therethrough.
  • the recesses 30 form justifyianssmaker for the electrical and mechanical contacting of the housing 10 and the mating connector 12 by the coil springs 18.
  • a distance of the mutually facing tabs 32, 34 is smaller than a thickness of the mating connector 12.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 An exemplary and particularly preferred embodiment of the coil springs 18 is in FIGS. 9 and 10 shown.
  • the coil spring 18 has turns 36 and a central longitudinal axis 38.
  • Each individual turn 36 also has a central longitudinal axis 40 per se.
  • the central longitudinal axes 38 and 40 are aligned with each other.
  • the turns 36 are tilted with respect to the central longitudinal axis 38 of the coil spring 18, so that a predetermined angle 42 between the central longitudinal axis 38 of the coil spring 18 and the central longitudinal axis 40 of a respective turn 36 results, as in Fig. 9 shown.
  • the tilted turns cause in a plane perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 38 of the coil spring 18, as in Fig. 10 shown, the individual windings 36 are elliptical, ie deviating from a circular shape have a large main axis 44 and a small main axis 46.
  • the coil springs 18 there is a radial preferred direction in which the coil springs 18 are particularly well elastically deformable in the radial direction, ie high restoring forces at high deflections without plastic deformation.
  • This is the direction defined by the small semiaxis 46 or a direction along a straight line in the space, which is aligned perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 38 of the coil spring 18 and lies in a plane spanned by the central longitudinal axes 38 and 40.
  • the small semiaxis 46 or a direction along a straight line in the space, which is aligned perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis 38 of the coil spring 18 and lies in a plane spanned by the central longitudinal axes 38 and 40.
  • the pins 26 are elliptical in cross section, wherein the small half-axis of this elliptical configuration of the pins 26 is aligned perpendicular to a direction of insertion for the mating connector 12.
