Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018010896A1] The connecting unit according to the invention for connection to an electric vehicle has two or more contact rails. By way of example, one contact rail is provided for the connection DC+ and one contact rail is provided for the connection DC- in this case. These contact rails are dependent on one another to a certain degree on account of the positive and negative polarity. Therefore, the contact rails are not arranged in any desired manner, but rather at a specific distance from one another. Furthermore, the connecting unit has a further contact rail to which a signal can be applied. The contact rails can be connected to corresponding vehicle-side contact rails of the electric vehicle. Owing to the connecting unit according to the invention, the number of four contact points from the prior art is advantageously reduced to two contact points and the size of the respective tolerance windows is increased.
