ELECTRICAL PLUG CONTACT FOR HIGH-CURRENT APPLICATIONS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR SYSTEM FOR HIGH-CURRENT APPLICATIONS

An electrical plug contact for high-current applications. The plug contact encompasses a housing that extends along a longitudinal axis and has an interior space for reception of a counterpart contact element. The plug contact further encompasses a cable that is constituted from a plurality of strands, the cable being guided from an exterior space of the housing into the interior space of the housing and being fastened on the housing. The cable has an end in the interior space, the cable having, adjacently to the end, a damping portion in which the cable is split into a plurality of separate conductors; a contacting element, which is suitable for electrical and mechanical contacting of the counterpart contact element, being secured on at least two conductors.
