A method for configuring an electrical contact zone of a terminal includes providing the terminal having a contact portion extending in a longitudinal direction of the terminal, forming a contact dome having a radius in the contact portion of the terminal, and forming a contact zone in the terminal at the contact dome. The contact zone is formed subsequent to a start of the step of forming the contact dome.

Method for configuring an electrical contact zone on/in a terminal, and electrical terminal

A high-current contact device includes a contact element and a cooling device. The cooling device has a coolant container thermally connected to the contact element, an absorber container arranged at a distance from the coolant container and the contact element, a fluid line extending between the coolant container and the absorber container, and a valve arranged in the fluid line. The coolant container has a coolant and the absorber container has an absorber material. The coolant container is fluidly connected to the absorber container in a valve open position and is fluidly separated from the absorber container in a valve closed position. The coolant changes to a gaseous phase in the coolant container to cool the contact element. The fluid line conveys the coolant in the gaseous phase from the coolant container to the absorber container, and the absorber material absorbs the coolant in the gaseous phase.

High-current contact means and method for operating the high-current contact means

A contact stop spring and contact assembly are disclosed. The contact assembly has a contact housing with a contact chamber and a contact resiliently held in the contact chamber by the contact stop spring.

An electrical contact device comprises a contact body and a mating contact receiver. The mating contact receiver is mountable on the contact body in at least two positions and receives a mating contact device along two different axes.

Electrical contact device

A holding structure for an arrangement establishing an electrical connection between a tab contact and a high current conductor is disclosed. The holding structure includes a connection section with at least one mounting arm for mounting to a contacting section of a high current conductor, a receptacle for a tab contact, and at least one press-on element configured to generate a contact pressure in the direction of the connection section.

Arrangement for establishing an electrical connection between a tab contact and a high current conductor

An electric contact is disclosed. The electric contact has an electric contact section including a plurality of contact springs with different geometrical shapes and a connecting section connected to an electric conductor.
