a plug contact device of the type mentioned has a switched between the trailer contact arrangement and the vehicle interface protection circuit with at least one voltage reduction component for the reduction of received via the trailer contact arrangement electrostatic voltage.
the advantage of this design is that electrostatic problems are rectified directly at the interface between the trailer and the motor vehicle electrical system, ie that the vehicle electrical system is not burdened by the possible electrostatic charges on the trailer. It does not even happen that peak loads, for example, get to a control unit for the trailer, so that this could be damaged and in extreme cases would affect the electrical system of the motor vehicle.
