    "patent_abstract": "A switchable contacting device with cooling functionality includes a current-carrying component, a housing for encasing the current-carrying component, and a heat dissipating component. The heat dissipating component is arranged to dissipate heat from the current-carrying component outside the housing. The current-carrying component includes a movable contact and a stationary contact device. The stationary contact device has a first section located inside the housing and a second section located outside the housing. The heat dissipating component is arranged inside the housing between the first section of the stationary contact device and the housing, and the heat dissipating component is designed as a thermally conductive pad.",
