Abstract
A connecting element for electrically connecting a cable to an electrical device of a motor vehicle includes a housing in which at least two electrical contacts are at least partially accommodated and a passage which extends from a first opening of the housing, through the housing, to a second opening of the housing and through which a coolant can flow. In order to allow an electrical connection which satisfies relatively stringent requirements, the electrical contacts are thermally coupled to the passage for active cooling by the coolant.
