CHAdeMO Plug & Connector for DC Fast Charging and EV Charging Systems

Product Overview

CHAdeMO, a DC fast charging technology standard established by the Japan Electric Vehicle Fast Charger Association, is one of the world's mainstream EV charging interfaces. It is widely used in public DC charging stations, V2H （Vehicle to Home）, V2G （Vehicle to Grid）, and other integrated charging and discharging solutions.

As an official member of the CHAdeMO Association, we have extensive experience in the research, development, and application of this standard. We proudly introduce our newly designed CHAdeMO 2.0 charging connector, which strictly complies with the IEC 62196-3:2014 international standard and has obtained CE certification 、TUV and official CHAdeMO Association approval. It is designed to meet the diverse and growing global market demands with exceptional performance, safety, and reliability.

Parameters

Core Advantages & Features

1. Ultra-Wide Current/Cable Compatibility for Flexible Adaptation

• High Current Carrying Capacity: Supports rated currents from 80A to 250A, with a maximum continuous current of 250A, perfectly covering fast charging needs from passenger vehicles to commercial vehicles.
• Flexible Cable Selection: Compatible with a wide range of cable specifications （6–70 mm²）, allowing optimization for different applications, such as lightweight handheld use or fixed high-power charging stations.

2. Ultimate Safety with Multiple Protections 

• Superior Electrical Performance:
  • High Insulation Resistance: > 100MΩ at DC1000V, ensuring high-voltage safety.
  • Extremely Low Contact Resistance: < 0.5 mΩ, effectively reducing energy loss and heat generation during charging.
  • High Dielectric Strength: Withstands 3000V AC for 1 minute, ensuring reliable electrical insulation.

• Intelligent Temperature Monitoring: Built-in PT1000 thermal sensors continuously monitor the temperature of the DC+ and DC- terminals. If abnormal temperatures are detected, the system can respond promptly, effectively preventing overheating and burnout, ensuring a safe and controllable charging process.
• Reliable Protection Rating: Achieves IP54 protection rating when mated, effectively resisting dust and water splashes, making it suitable for outdoor and complex environments.

3. Intelligent Locking for Worry-Free Operation

• Integrated Electronic Lock Module: Equipped with a 12V or ±12V solenoid lock that includes a lock status position detection signal output, ensuring the connector is securely locked to the vehicle inlet during charging, preventing accidental disconnection.
• Smart Insertion Detection: Features an integrated insertion detection mechanism; the solenoid lock activates only when the connector is fully inserted into the vehicle inlet, avoiding misoperation.
• Manual Emergency Release: Thoughtfully designed with a manual emergency unlock slip key for easy and safe disconnection in case of power failure or emergency, ensuring user safety in any situation.

4. Ergonomic Design & Rugged Durability

• Comfortable Grip: The handle features an ergonomic, streamlined design for a comfortable grip and effortless plugging/unplugging, effectively reducing fatigue during long-term or high-frequency use.
• High-Quality Materials:
  • Housing: Made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant thermoplastic with excellent insulation properties and impact resistance.
  • Terminals: The core terminals are made of copper alloy with a silver-plated surface, offering excellent conductivity, oxidation resistance, and wear resistance, ensuring long-term stable connection performance.

• Wide Operating Temperature Range: Reliably operates in ambient temperatures from -30°C to +50°C, adaptable to various harsh climatic conditions.
