Abstract

A high current contact is disclosed having a contact pin for insertion into the high-current socket having a plurality of contact segments that are slotted in a radial direction for contacting an inner contact surface of the high-current socket; a guide sleeve surrounding the contact pin, which, by means of an at least central front pressing against the high-current socket relative to the contact pin in an axial direction from an initial position, in which the guide sleeve blocks an independent radial spreading of the contact segments in order to avoid a contact between the contacts segments protruding axially from the guide sleeve and the inner contact surface, is movable into a contact position that is set back with respect to the contact pin and in which the guide sleeve unblocks an independent radial spreading of the contact segments protruding from the guide sleeve for contacting the inner contact surface.
