EV Charging Connectors & Solutions | JONHON B2B

A CCS 2 fast charger is an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) unit that utilizes the Combined Charging System (CCS) Type 2 connector standard to deliver high-power DC fast charging. The CCS Combo 2 connector, which is the mandatory standard for DC fast charging in the European Union and many other countries, builds upon the AC Type 2 connector by adding two high-power DC pins below the standard AC pins. This ingenious design allows a single vehicle inlet to accept both AC and DC charging, simplifying vehicle architecture and user experience. CCS 2 fast chargers typically operate at power levels ranging from 50 kW to 350 kW and beyond, enabling compatible electric vehicles to recharge their batteries to 80% capacity in as little as 15-60 minutes, which is critical for long-distance travel and commercial fleet applications. JONHON is a world-leading manufacturer specializing in the production of high-performance CCS 2 fast charger components, particularly the charging guns and inlets that form the critical interface. Our CCS 2 charging guns are engineered to meet the extreme demands of high-power DC charging. With a dedicated team of over 400 engineers in our electric vehicle business unit and a portfolio of over 300 EV-related patents, JONHON has developed advanced connector technologies specifically for this application. This includes precision contact systems for the high-power DC pins to minimize electrical resistance and heat, and for ultra-fast chargers (150kW+), integrated liquid-cooled cables to actively manage the intense thermal load, ensuring safe, sustained operation and maintaining cable flexibility. Safety is paramount in the high-voltage, high-current environment of a CCS 2 fast charger. JONHON's connectors incorporate robust high voltage interlock (HVIL) circuits that constantly monitor connection integrity, ensuring the high-voltage circuit is only energized when the gun is fully engaged and locked, preventing dangerous arcing. JONHON's active participation in formulating the IEC 62196 series of standards, which govern CCS, ensures our components are designed for full global interoperability and compliance with the most stringent safety requirements. For manufacturers of CCS 2 fast charging stations, integrating JONHON's proven, high-performance connectors is fundamental to delivering a safe, reliable, and competitive product in the global market.
