High current contact and corresponding method for producing a high current contact assembly

摘要

Described herein is a high current contact (1) comprising a contact pin (10), which has at least one contact opening (15), and a contact terminal (20), which has at least one contact limb (24), wherein at least one contact limb (24) of the contact terminal (20) is connected to a corresponding contact opening (15) of the contact pin (10) on at least one joint region (14) to produce an electrical contact and to receive mechanical forces. In an embodiment, manufacturing of the electrical contact between the contact pin (10) and the contact terminal (20) is largely isolated from the receiving of mechanical forces, wherein the electrical contact between the contact pin (10) and the contact terminal (20) is produced by a first connection type (7) and the mechanical forces are received by a second connection type (5).
