EV Charging Connectors & Solutions | JONHON B2B

An EV charging gun is the common term for the handheld connector or coupler attached to the charging cable of an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) unit. It is the most user-interacted component in the entire EV charging ecosystem, serving as the physical and electrical interface between the charging station and the vehicle. The charging gun must be ergonomically designed for easy handling, yet robust enough to withstand tens of thousands of plug-unplug cycles, exposure to harsh weather conditions (rain, snow, extreme temperatures), and potential physical abuse in public environments. It houses the power pins and signal pins that enable safe energy transfer and communication between the charger and the vehicle, conforming to specific global standards such as Type 1, Type 2, CCS, CHAdeMO, or GB/T. JONHON is a premier global manufacturer of EV charging guns, engineering these critical components to the highest standards of quality, safety, and durability. 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 designs charging guns for the full spectrum of charging applications, from AC Level 2 home chargers to ultra-fast 350kW DC chargers. Our guns feature precision contact systems that minimize electrical resistance and heat generation, advanced material selection for mechanical strength and UV resistance, and sophisticated sealing to ensure ingress protection. For ultra-fast DC charging, JONHON has developed and patented liquid-cooled charging guns that actively manage the intense heat, keeping cables flexible and safe to handle. Safety is a core design principle, and all JONHON EV charging guns integrate a high voltage interlock (HVIL) circuit that works with the charging station's controls to ensure power is only delivered when the gun is fully and securely engaged, preventing arcing and protecting the user. Our active participation in formulating 7 IEC standards ensures our charging guns meet global interoperability and safety requirements. For charging station manufacturers, integrating JONHON EV charging guns means building a product with a proven, high-reliability user interface that enhances brand reputation and reduces warranty costs.
