EV Charging Connector

First of all, charging plugs are divided into DC charging plugs and AC charging plugs. DC charging plugs are also high-current, high-power charging plugs, which are generally equipped with fast charging stations for new energy vehicles. Households are generally AC charging piles, or portable charging plugs.

AC charging connector

Mainly divided into three types, type1, type2, GB/T. 

①Type1: SAE J1772 interfac

The United States, South Korea, Japan and other some countries mainly use Type 1 charging cables, including portable charging cables carried by AC charging piles along with the car. Type1 provides mainly two charging voltages of 120V (Level1) and 240V (Level2).

②Type2: IEC 62196 interface

Type2 is the new energy vehicle interface standard in Europe, and the rated voltage is generally 230V. Looking at the pictures, it may look a bit like the national standard, but it is easy to distinguish. The Type2 which is the opposite of the GBT.(Female to male）

③GB/T: GB/T20234  interface

From January 1, 2016, China stipulates that as long as the charging interface of all brands of new energy vehicles produced in China must meet the standard GB/T20234. The rated voltage of the national standard AC charger is generally 220V household voltage.

DC charging connector 

DC charging plugs generally correspond to AC chargingplugs, and each region has its own standards. Japan's DC charging plugs interface is CHAdeMO. Since the rated voltage of DC charging piles is generally above 400V, and the current reaches hundreds of amperes, so generally speaking, they are not for household use, and only fast charging stations such as shopping malls and gas stations can be used.
