EV charging connectors

Charx charging inlets enable low- and high-power charging (HPC) of electric vehicles (EVs). The combined charging systems (CCS) inlets allow continuous charging at up to 250A, and temporarily up to 500A and 1,000V, making it possible to charge a vehicle in just a few minutes.

Charx CCS inlets have up to 95mm2 DC cable cross-sections, enabling higher power. Core charging inlet elements improve temperature sensing and connection technology between cables and contacts. Vehicles can regulate the requested charging current dynamically based on the temperature evaluation. Previous generations of CCS inlets weren’t capable of higher power on the vehicle side, because it caused severe overheating.

Inlets are available for Type 1 (North America) and Type 2 (Europe) chargers, designed to the same mounting dimensions. The inlets are manufactured in accordance with IATF 16949 and conform to IEC 62196 and SAE J1772 design standards.
