Abstract
A high-current contact device includes a contact element insertable along a plug-in axis at least partially into a further contact element of a further high-current contact device, a contact housing having a contact receiver receiving the contact element, and a temperature measuring device. The contact housing has a sensor receiver that is inclined with respect to the plug-in axis and leads into the contact receiver. The temperature measuring device is arranged at least partially in the sensor receiver. The temperature measuring device bears against an outer circumferential side of the contact element and measures a temperature of the contact element.
