Abstract
A charging plug for an electrically driven vehicle has a feed line for electrically connecting the charging plug to a charging infrastructure. The charging plug includes power contacts, a signal contact, a rectifier, and a control and protection device. The power contacts and signal contact electrically connect the charging plug to the vehicle. The rectifier is connected to the feed line and to the power contacts for converting an alternating current obtained by the feed line into a direct current that is delivered by the power contacts to the vehicle in a charging process. The control and protection device is connected to the feed line, to the power contacts and to the signal contact for matching the charging process to the vehicle by means of the signal contact.
