Abstract:
1. A high-voltage connector, having a plug with a rubber cone for insertion in a mating connector-half having a floor, the rubber cone having a first cone portion and at least two second cone portions having respective female contacts for making contact with respective contact pins on the mating connector-half, the second cone portions being separated from one another by a slotted recess in the rubber cone into which a ridge arranged on the mating connector-half extends to form a tight-fitting joint insulated against high voltage, and a tip of the bottom end of the second cone portions on the side by the floor, so that when the rubber cone is inserted in the mating connector-half, a first expansion space into which the second cone portions can expand is present between the tip of the bottom end of the second cone portions and the floor of the mating connector-half, wherein the slotted recess and the ridge are adjusted to one another in such a way that, when the rubber cone is inserted in the mating connector-half, a second expansion space, into which the rubber cone portions can expand thermally, is present at the tip of the ridge.
