EV connectors
Lumberg’s 4580 01 high-current contact is designed for both SMT (reflow) and THT soldering. This innovative phase contact offers a flexible solution for various assembly requirements and is particularly suited for high-current applications. The 4580 01 high-current contact is characterized by its versatility and a robust, space-saving (4.9 x 4.95 mm) design. It can be plugged in from the top, bottom, and side, and is compatible with many standard blade contacts. The connection is made using flat blade connectors with widths from 2.8 to 6.8 mm and a thickness of 0.8 mm (0.5 mm in preparation), enabling easy integration into various PCB designs. The high-current contact has been tested and meets the requirements of industry standard LV215 for electric vehicle applications and Volkswagen standard VW 80332 for “Motor Vehicle High-Voltage Contacts.”

Amphenol LTW (ALTW) delivers reliable connector solutions for electric vehicle applications, designed to support high power, signal integrity, and long-term durability in demanding automotive environments. Its EV connector portfolio covers battery management systems, power distribution units, onboard chargers, DC-DC converters, and auxiliary electronics. Featuring robust sealing, vibration resistance, secure locking, and high-current capability, ALTW connectors are built for harsh operating conditions and compact integration. With automotive-grade materials and compliance to international standards, ALTW supports next-generation electric mobility through safe, efficient, and durable interconnect solutions for passenger and commercial EV platforms.

Phoenix Contact’s CHARX AC charging cables for electric vehicles (EVs) are based on the North American Charging Standard (NACS). Designed for Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, they can be used in home and public EV charging stations. Since it was standardized as SAE J3400 in 2023, NACS has quickly become the preferred charging standard in North America. Phoenix Contact’s NACS AC charging cables comply with SAE J3400 and are certified in accordance with UL 2251. The charging cables have an IP67 protection rating when plugged in and are available in power ratings of 50 A and 80 A with a rated voltage of 250 V AC. Optional temperature sensors in the cables can provide monitoring during the charging process. The ergonomic charging cables have an offset handle for comfort. The design also decouples the heat from the handling/gripping surfaces for user safety.

Adam Tech’s line of EV chargers provides durable and efficient solutions to electric vehicle charging. Both standard EV and NACS charging cables are equipped with a variety of cable length options, allowing vehicles to be charged from various distances. Adam Tech is committed to providing reliable and cost-effective charging solutions to the growing electric vehicle industry.

Amphenol Pcd’s CCS1, or Combo 1, is mainly used in the U.S. and combines a J1772 (Type 1) connector with two additional direct current (DC) contacts to allow high-power DC fast charging. CCS1 features DC or three-phase AC charging (IEC62196-2&3; J1772). Multiple configurations and options are available.

Hirose’s MT50WA Series, available from Heilind, is a waterproof, power/signal hybrid connector designed for compact motors and industrial applications. It combines power, signal, and brake connections into a single solution, saving space and simplifying assembly. The connector features a lever lock mechanism that enhances wiring operations and ensures secure mating, providing vibration resistance, essential for motor applications. With an IP67 waterproof rating when mated, the MT50WA Series is suitable for use in harsh environments. It meets stringent industry standards for electric motors, powertrains, and industrial systems, making it ideal for applications requiring reliable and efficient performance.
