  • the electrical contact point is particularly suitable for the transmission of high electrical currents, for example, with a current of 100 to 400 A or more, and can be equipped by the movable first contact element simultaneously with a Berbuildtik for the electrical contacts of the connector.
  • a particularly good electrical contact is achieved by a high contact pressure, characterized in that the coil spring has obliquely wound turns.
  • a particularly high number of contact surfaces with a corresponding improvement in the electrical properties of the connector is achieved by the fact that the coil spring is annular.
  • a particularly uniform distribution of the contact pressure on the contact surfaces is achieved in that the annular coil spring between the two plate-shaped sections in the overlap region is arranged such that at least a portion of a first axial side of the annular coil spring electrically and mechanically contacts the first plate-shaped portion and at least a portion of a first axial side opposite second axial side of the coil spring electrically and mechanically contacted the second plate-shaped portion.
  • a particularly high number of contact surfaces between the coil spring and the plate-shaped sections of the contact elements in the overlapping region is achieved in that the annular coil spring within the ring defines a surface in space, the surface is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the coil spring at the boundary to the coil spring wherein the coil spring is such is arranged, that this surface is at least partially disposed between and parallel to the plate-shaped portions in the overlapping region.
  • a mechanically particularly good fixation of the coil spring on the first contact element is achieved in that the helical spring is arranged such that the surface partially surrounds the first contact element.
  • a further increase in the contact pressure with a corresponding improvement in the electrical properties of the connector by tilting the turns of the coil spring relative to a longitudinal axis of the screw spring is achieved in that a distance between the plate-shaped portions of the contact elements is smaller than an outer diameter of the coil spring.
  • the plug-side end 12 is designed for plug-in connection or mating with a complementary plug connector (not shown), wherein at least one electrical contact between the plug connector according to the invention and the complementary plug connector is to be produced.
  • at least one pair of contact elements made of an electrically conductive material with a first contact element 18 and a second contact element 20 is provided in the housing 10, as shown Fig. 3 seen.
  • a pair of these contact elements 18, 20 are shown, however, the exemplary embodiment has seven such pairs.
  • the storage and management of the contact element 18, 20 in the housing 10 is not shown for reasons of clarity in all figures.
  • the first contact element 18 has a free end 22, which faces the plug-side end 12. At one end face of the free end 22, a completely covering end cap 24 made of an electrically insulating material is arranged.
  • the respective first contact element 18 of a pair is movable relative to the housing 10 and the second contact element 20 between a first position, as in FIG Fig. 1 and 5 represented, and a second position, as in Fig. 2 and 4 shown, movable.
  • the second contact element 20 is arranged fixed with respect to the housing 10.
  • a mechanism for moving the first contact elements 18 for reasons of clarity is not shown.
  • the first position the first contact element 18 is retracted into a space bounded by the housing 10 and the cover 16.
  • the first contact element 12 is pushed out of the housing 10 through a respective opening 26 in the cover 16 and projects beyond the cover 24 or the housing 10 in the direction of the plug-side end 12.
  • the first contact elements 18 are extended from the first position through the cover 16 into the second position, so that the first contact elements 18 of each pair electrically contact corresponding contact elements in the complementary connector , Conversely, before pulling back again from the connector according to the invention and the complementary connector, the first contact elements 18 are withdrawn from the second position back to the first position.
  • a corresponding first securing mechanism is provided, which only allows a movement of the first contact elements 18 from the first position to the second position when the connector according to the invention is fully inserted into the complementary connector.
  • a second securing mechanism is preferably provided, which prevents disassembly of the connector according to the invention and the complementary connector, as long as the first contact elements 18 are outside the first position.
  • the connector according to the invention is connected at its cable end 14 with at least one electrically conductive cable.
  • fixed second contact element 20 is provided as in Fig. 3 to 5 shown. In the Fig. 3 to 5 For reasons of better clarity, only one pair of first and second contact elements 18, 20 is shown.
  • the first contact element 18 and the second contact element 20 of a pair are each plate-shaped and in each case a pair of first and second contact element 18, 20 are arranged parallel to each other such that respective wide sides 28 of the first and second contact element 18, 20 facing each other. Furthermore, in an overlapping area 30 (FIG. Fig. 4 and 5 ) between the plate-shaped contact elements 18, 20 of a pair of first and second contact element 18, 20 arranged at least one coil spring 32 made of an electrically conductive and resilient material.
  • a diameter of the coil spring 32 and a spacing of the plate-shaped contact elements 18, 20 and the wide sides 28 of a pair of first and second contact elements 18, 20 in the overlap region 30 is selected such that respective screw turns of the coil spring 32 with a first radial outside the first contact element 18 and with a second outer side opposite the first radial outer side abut the second contact element 20, so that between the turns of the coil spring 32 and the respective contact element 18, 20 results in an electrical contact point with contact surface and contact pressure.
  • the contact pressure adjusts itself in that the turns of the helical spring 32 are deflected out of a respective rest position relative to a longitudinal axis of the helical spring 32 or are tilted relative to the longitudinal axis of the helical spring 32. This is achieved in that a distance of the plate-shaped contact elements 18, 20 of a pair of first and second contact element 18, 20 is smaller than an outer diameter of the coil spring 32nd
  • the coil spring 32 is attached to the first contact element 18, so that the coil spring 32 moves with the first contact element 18. Accordingly, the turns of the helical spring 38 grind along the second contact element upon movement of the first contact element 18 20 and thereby maintain a sufficient electrical connection between the two contact elements 18, 20 upright.
  • the second contact elements 20 each have a free end with an end face 34, this free end facing the cable end 14 of the connector according to the invention.
  • the front end face 34 serves, for example, for electrical contacting with a wire or electrical line of a cable to be connected to the connector according to the invention.
  • the helical spring 32 is preferably annular and defines within this ring an area space. This surface is aligned at the boundaries of the coil spring 32 parallel to a longitudinal axis of the coil spring 32 at the appropriate location. Due to the annular design of the coil spring 32, this forms in principle a torus in space, which has two opposite axial end sides. According to the invention, the helical spring 32 is arranged in the overlapping region 30 between the two contact elements 18, 20 such that the helical spring 32 strikes the second contact element 20 with turns at one axial end on the first contact element 18 and with turns on the other, opposite axial end , like out Fig. 3 seen.
  • annular coil springs 32 are not fully illustrated due to the cut.
  • the ring or in this limited area surrounds the first contact element 18 on the narrow side of the plate-like configuration of the first contact element 18.
  • four coil springs 32 are provided.
  • any other number may also be provided in an overlapping region 30 of a pair 18, 20, such as one, two, three, five or six coil springs 32.
