Electric vehicle (EV) connectors are essential devices designed to supply electric vehicles with power. Due to the high increase and popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles, EV connectors have become indispensable tools for almost every home, business, and industrial sector. These EV connectors come in various types and voltage ranges to suit various automotive-related applications. In addition, some of these connectors are available with cables.
What are the different mounting types of electric vehicle connectors available?
At Enrgtech, we provide EV connectors with various mounting types, such as:
- Box mount
- Flange mount
- Panel mount
- Cable mount
- Front mount
- Rear mount
What are the types of Electric Vehicle Connectors?
The two standard quality types of EV connectors include:
- Male charger connectors: The male charger connector is designed to plug into the charger socket.
- EV connector of vehicle side: They are used to be plugged into the charger socket of the vehicle. These connectors have two modes: mode 2 and mode 3.
- Mode 2 EV connectors: These connectors are ideal for use with domestic charging applications.
- Mode 3 EV connectors: They are designed to be used in charging stations.
Further details of their various types are given below:
- HEV UPC Connector: They are referred to as universal power connectors and are capable of charging electric and hybrid electric vehicles.
- EV Type 1 connector: This single-phase EV connector features 5 pins with a 7.4 kW maximum charging level.
- EV Type 2 connector: With 7 pins, a domestic charging level of up to 22 kW, and 43 kW in public charging stations, these triple-phase EV connectors are common in most European areas.
- CCS (Combined Charging System): These offer a combined charging mechanism expanding on a type 2 plug with extra power contacts to charge efficiently.
- CHAdeMO connectors: Original DC connectors with power levels up to 50 kW are broadly used for rapid DC charge points in the UK.
What are Manual Service Disconnects?
Manual service disconnects are fundamental protective devices ideal for service technicians and emergency response teams that offer protective measures where high voltage electric vehicles are operated. They are an effective tool-free package for removing high-voltage battery packs by protecting them from tripping or short circuit.
What are the uses of electric vehicle connectors?
Typically, EV connectors are a prerequisite for every automotive electrical industry. They will be used in a wide range of electric vehicles in the future. Some other uses include electric and hybrid cars, buses, trucks, ambulances, and waste disposal vehicles.
