An assemblage having a thermally insulating switch and a thermal insulator for constituting an electrical conductor passthrough through the thermal insulator. The thermal insulator insulates an inner space from an outer space, the assemblage having inner connector on the side of the inner space and outer connector on the side of the outer space, which are electrically conductively connectable by the switch. The assemblage has a control unit for controlling the thermally insulating switch, a current flowing through the switch is detectable by the control unit, the switch is controllable by the control unit in such a way that the switch is actuatable only in a substantially zero-current state, and the switch is disposed in the thermal insulator in such a way that thermal insulation between the inner connector and the outer connector is accomplished by way of the switch in the open state.
