EV Charging Connectors & Solutions | JONHON B2B

An AC Type 1 charger refers to an electric vehicle charging system that utilizes the Type 1 connector standard for Alternating Current (AC) charging. This connector, also known as the SAE J1772 standard, is the predominant AC charging interface for electric vehicles in North America and Japan. It is a single-phase connector designed to deliver AC power at standard voltages (typically 120V for Level 1 and 208V-240V for Level 2) and currents up to 80A, supporting charging power levels commonly found in residential and public AC charging stations. The Type 1 connector features a round, five-pin design, which includes pins for line, neutral, control pilot, proximity pilot, and protective earth. This configuration enables safe power delivery and communication between the vehicle and the charging station. JONHON is a specialized manufacturer that provides high-performance AC Type 1 charger components, including the charging guns and vehicle inlets that conform to this important standard. Our Type 1 charging guns are engineered with the same commitment to quality and reliability that defines all JONHON products. With a dedicated team of over 400 engineers in our electric vehicle business unit and a robust portfolio of over 300 EV-related patents, we design our Type 1 connectors to withstand the demands of daily use, featuring precision contact systems for efficient power transfer, durable housings with high ingress protection against environmental factors, and ergonomic handles for user comfort. Safety is paramount, and JONHON's Type 1 charging guns incorporate a high voltage interlock (HVIL) circuit that ensures power is only delivered when the connector is fully and securely engaged with the vehicle inlet, protecting users from electrical hazards. Furthermore, JONHON's active participation in formulating 7 IEC standards, while the Type 1 is primarily a North American/Japanese standard (SAE J1772), demonstrates our deep engagement with global charging norms and our capability to produce components that meet the stringent quality and safety expectations of international markets. For manufacturers producing AC charging stations for the North American or Japanese markets, integrating JONHON's Type 1 charging guns ensures a product built on a foundation of proven engineering excellence and reliability.
