Types of EV Charging Connectors – <\/strong>The use of EVs in the world is becoming more and more popular as they offer clean energy and efficient performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with the increasing number of EVs, some crucial components to support the use of EVs must also improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The connectors, sockets, and plugs that EVs use are one example. EV connectors may vary depending on the type of EV and also the type of charging station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

So, let’s take a look at the explanation that dimulti has prepared, just for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of EV Charging Connectors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are several types of ev charging connectors that each have their own features and capabilities, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. SAE J1772 Connector – Type 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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

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

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

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

2. Mennekes Connector – Type 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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

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

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

3. CCS Connector – Type 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CCS or Combined Charging System is a combined SAE 1772 connector with two high-speed DC fast charging pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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

4. CSS Connector – Type 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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

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

Which makes CSS connector type 2 a standard that is widely used in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. CHAdeMO Connector<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The fifth is the CHAdeMO connector which is a DCFC connector developed by Japanese automakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

6. GB\/T Connector<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

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

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

The DC variant can deliver power of 440 volts 250 amps and can provide power of 237.5 kW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Tesla Connector<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The last one is the Tesla connector which is used exclusively for Tesla-branded EVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
