A CCS (Combined Charging System) fast charger is a type of DC fast charging station that uses the CCS connector standard, which has become the dominant fast charging protocol in Europe, North America, and many other global markets. The CCS connector is unique because it combines the standard AC pins for slower charging with two additional high-power DC pins for rapid charging, all within a single connector interface. This allows a single vehicle inlet to accept both AC and DC charging, simplifying vehicle design and user experience. The CCS standard supports charging at power levels from 50 kW up to 350 kW and beyond, making it the backbone of modern ultra-fast charging networks. JONHON is a specialized manufacturer with deep expertise in producing the high-performance CCS-compliant charging guns and inlets that are essential for these fast chargers. Our engineering team, with over 400 engineers dedicated to the EV business unit, designs CCS connectors that meet the rigorous mechanical, electrical, and thermal demands of high-power DC charging. The additional DC pins in a CCS connector must carry very high currents, generating significant heat. JONHON's connectors utilize advanced contact materials and geometries to minimize resistance, and for ultra-high power versions, integrate liquid-cooled cables to ensure safe, sustained operation. Safety is a core design principle, and our CCS charging guns incorporate robust high voltage interlock (HVIL) circuits that work with the charging system to ensure power is only active when the connector is fully engaged and locked. JONHON's active participation in formulating the very IEC standards that govern CCS ensures our components are designed for full interoperability and compliance with global safety requirements. With over 300 EV-related patents, we continuously innovate in this space to improve connector durability, cooling efficiency, and ease of use. For manufacturers of CCS fast charging stations, partnering with JONHON means integrating connectors engineered for the highest levels of performance and long-term reliability.
