A CCS2 charging gun is the specialized handheld connector, or coupler, designed for the Combined Charging System (CCS) Type 2 standard, which is the mandated DC fast charging interface in Europe and numerous other global markets. This component is the critical physical link between a DC fast charging station and an electric vehicle, responsible for safely and reliably transferring high-voltage, high-current power directly to the vehicle's battery. The CCS2 charging gun is identifiable by its unique form factor: it integrates the seven-pin AC Type 2 connector on the upper portion with two large, high-power DC pins below, creating a single, combined interface. This design allows a single vehicle inlet to accept both AC and DC charging. JONHON is a premier global manufacturer of CCS2 charging guns, engineering these components to meet the most demanding requirements for performance, safety, and durability. Our CCS2 charging guns are designed from the ground up to handle the extreme electrical and thermal stresses of ultra-fast charging, with power levels ranging from 50 kW to 350 kW and beyond. With a dedicated team of over 400 engineers in our electric vehicle business unit and a robust portfolio of over 300 EV-related patents, JONHON has developed advanced technologies specifically for this application. Our CCS2 guns feature precision contact systems for the DC pins, using advanced materials and geometries to minimize electrical resistance and heat generation. For ultra-high power applications, we offer versions with integrated liquid-cooled cables that actively manage heat, ensuring safe, sustained operation and maintaining a manageable cable weight and flexibility for the user. Safety is paramount, and JONHON's CCS2 charging guns incorporate sophisticated high voltage interlock (HVIL) circuits that constantly monitor the connection, ensuring the high-voltage circuit is only active when the gun is fully and securely engaged and locked, preventing arcing and protecting the user. JONHON's active participation in formulating the IEC 62196 standards ensures our CCS2 charging guns are designed for full global interoperability and meet the most stringent safety requirements. For charging station manufacturers, integrating JONHON's CCS2 charging guns means incorporating a component engineered for the highest levels of performance and long-term reliability, directly enhancing the competitiveness of their fast-charging products.
