Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical plug (24) having a connection unit (36) which can be coupled to an electrical line (26) in order to transmit electrical energy, having at least one electrical contact pin (30) which has a plug section (32) and a coupling section (34), wherein the coupling section (34) is electrically coupled to the connection unit (36), and wherein the plug section (32) is designed to provide a releasable plug connection to an associated contact socket (18) in order to electrically couple the contact pin (30) to the contact socket (18), and having a detection unit (38) which is designed to) detect a tensile force which is exerted on the contact pin (30) and/or a movement of the contact pin (30) relative to the contact socket (18), and to provide a disconnection signal for interrupting the energy transmission process.
