Two-part contact element for high-voltage plug-and-socket connector

Abstract

The invention relates to a plug element () for a sealed high-voltage plug-and-socket connector (), by means of which, in particular in an automobile, an electrical conductor () can be connected in electrically conductive manner to a mating contact element () of a mating plug element (), with a housing body () which has a plug section () which can be fitted together with the mating plug element () in a direction of insertion (S) and a conductor receptacle section () remote from the plug section () with at least one conductor entry opening (), and with at least one contact element () which has an insertion member () which is arranged spaced apart from the at least one conductor entry opening () in the plug section () and can be fitted together with the mating contact element (), and a conductor fastening section () for connecting the at least one electrical conductor (). Furthermore, the invention relates to a conductor end piece () for fastening an end section () of the electrical conductor () in the plug-and-socket connector () and also a modular system for the plug element (), and to a method for assembling the plug element (). In order to make the assembly of the plug element () simpler and more reliable, provision is made according to the invention for the conductor fastening section () to be designed as a plug contact () which is flush with the at least one conductor entry opening () in a direction of introduction (E) for the at least one electrical conductor () and for a conductor latching element (') to be arranged in the housing body (), which element in a projection in the direction of introduction (E) overlaps the at least one conductor entry opening () at least in sections.
