High-Current Contact Device and Connecting Device for Transmitting Electrical Energy in a Motor Vehicle

The invention relates to a high-current contact device (25) and a connection device (15) comprising the high-current contact device (25). The high-current contact device (25) comprises a contact element (45, 65), a contact housing (40) and a temperature measuring device (50, 70), the contact housing (35) has a contact receptacle (190) for receiving the contact element (45, 65), the contact element (45, 65) can be at least partially inserted along an insertion axis (110) into a further contact element (75) of a further high-current contact device (30), the contact housing (35) has a sensor receptacle (205) which is inclined relative to the insertion axis (110), the sensor receptacle (205) leading into a contact receptacle (190), the temperature measuring device (50, 70) is arranged at least partially in the sensor receiver (205), and the temperature measuring device (50, 70) bears against the outer circumferential side (130) of the contact element (45, 65) for measuring the temperature (TS1(t), TS2(t)) of the
