A plug-in contact device for preventing or extinguishing an arc when a DC connection is disconnected or closed by using an extension of a line compound includes: at least two connectors at ends of an extension of a line compound, each having a main contact (HA) and an auxiliary contact (HI), the HA of each of the at least two connectors having a first contact half (HA) and a second contact half (HA), which are detachably intermateable, the HA: connecting the HAand the HAin an electrically conductive manner in a mated state of the respective connector, galvanically isolating the HAand the HAin an unmated state of the respective connector, connecting the HAand the HAin an electrically conductive manner in a first intermediate state of the respective connector between the mated state and the unmated state, and galvanically isolating the HAand the HA

Technique for preventing arcing when disconnecting a DC connection by using an extension of a line compound

A plug connector part for electrical connection to a mating plug connector part is provided. The plug connector part includes a housing and a contact carrier that is movable in relation to the housing. The contact carrier includes at least one electrical contact for the mating plug connector part and a slider that is movable in relation to the housing and to the contact carrier. The plug connector part for includes an elastic element that is supported on the slider and on the contact carrier in such a way that the elastic element is tensioned by a displacement of the slider in relation to the contact carrier.

Safely separating plug connector part

A plug connector part for electrically contacting a mating plug connector part includes: a contact element, which is engageable in a plug-in manner with a mating contact element of an associated mating plug connector part in an insertion direction for electrical contacting; and a lance element that includes an at least partially resilient shaft and a contacting portion, the shaft being connected to the contact element at a first end and the contacting portion being arranged at a second end of the shaft such that the contacting portion remains in electrical contact with the mating contact element of the mating plug connector part when the connector part is released from the mating plug connector part after the electrical contact between the contact element and the mating contact element has already been broken.
