EV Charging Connectors & Solutions | JONHON B2B

A Type 2 AC EV charger refers to an electric vehicle charging system that utilizes the Type 2 connector standard, often referred to as the Mennekes connector, for Alternating Current (AC) charging. This connector type is the predominant standard for AC charging across Europe and numerous other global markets. It is designed to support both single-phase and three-phase AC power delivery, with common charging power levels for residential and public AC stations being 11 kW or 22 kW, although the connector standard itself can theoretically handle up to 43 kW in AC mode. The Type 2 connector features a distinctive round, seven-pin design, which includes pins for three-phase power, neutral, protective earth, and two for control pilot and proximity pilot signaling, enabling communication between the vehicle and the charging station. JONHON is a premier manufacturer of high-quality Type 2 AC EV charger components, specifically the charging guns and inlets that adhere to this rigorous standard. Our Type 2 charging guns are engineered for exceptional durability and user ergonomics, designed to withstand years of daily plugging and unplugging in diverse environments, from residential garages to public parking facilities.
