EV connectors may vary depending on the type of EV and also the type of charging station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You cannot use one type of charging connector for all types of EVs, so knowing the types can help you understand each type of EV charging connectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, let&#8217;s take a look at the explanation that dimulti has prepared, just for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title ez-toc-toggle\" style=\"cursor:pointer\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/types-of-ev-charging-connectors\/#Types_of_EV_Charging_Connectors\" >Types of EV Charging Connectors<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/types-of-ev-charging-connectors\/#1_SAE_J1772_Connector_%E2%80%93_Type_1\" >1.

SAE J1772 Connector &#8211; Type 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This connector is also often referred to as the J Plug or Type 1 connector which is widely standardized in North America and Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With five pins and using up to 80 amps and 240 volts, this charging connector can produce 19.2 kW of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As that being said, the J Plug can be used for level 1 and level 2 charging which is quite reliable for everyday EV use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One drawback of the J Plug connector is the absence of an automatic locking mechanism which is quite useful when charging, especially in public places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Mennekes_Connector_%E2%80%93_Type_2\"><\/span>2. Mennekes Connector &#8211; Type 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next one is the type 2 connector or also known as the Mennekes connector which is standardized primarily in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using seven pins, it can charge up to 32 amps using 400 volts input and can provide power of up to 22 kW. Therefore, this type 2 can be used for EV charging level 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the Mennekes connector also has an automatic locking system that can lock the connector and prevent the connector from being removed during the charging process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/types-of-electric-vehicle-charging\/\">3 Types of Electric Vehicle Charging<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_CCS_Connector_%E2%80%93_Type_1\"><\/span>3. CCS Connector &#8211; Type 1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CCS or Combined Charging System is a combined SAE 1772 connector with two high-speed DC fast charging pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CCS itself is the standard connector for DCFC applied in North America, which can deliver up to 500 amps and 1000 volts DC with a maximum power output of 360kW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because it uses a combination of pins, this means that EV manufacturers get one AC and DC port, rather than using two different ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_CSS_Connector_%E2%80%93_Type_2\"><\/span>4. CSS Connector &#8211; Type 2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like CSS connector type 1, type 2 also uses a combination of one AC plug with two DCFC pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference is that Type 1 uses a combination of SAE 1772, type 2 uses Mennekes as the main AC plug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which makes CSS connector type 2 a standard that is widely used in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_CHAdeMO_Connector\"><\/span>5. CHAdeMO Connector<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fifth is the CHAdeMO connector which is a DCFC connector developed by Japanese automakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This connector has the ability to deliver 400 amps and 400 volts with a maximum power output of 400 KW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_GBT_Connector\"><\/span>6. GB\/T Connector<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next is the GB\/T connector which is the standard EV charging connector in China.There are two GB\/T connectors in China which are divided into AC for level 2 charging and DC for fast charging (level 3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AC one is capable of delivering 250 volts 32 amps and can provide a power put of up to 7.4 kW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DC variant can deliver power of 440 volts 250 amps and can provide power of 237.5 kW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Tesla_Connector\"><\/span>7. Tesla Connector<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last one is the Tesla connector which is used exclusively for Tesla-branded EVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There you have it!
