CCS2 to Type 2 Adapter
Unleash the versatility of modern charging infrastructure. This professional CCS2 to Type 2 Adapter enables vehicles with an IEC 62196-2 (Type 2) inlet to utilize the AC portion of CCS2 (Combo 2) tethered charging cables. Perfect for charging older EV models or specific plug-in hybrids at chargers that only provide integrated CCS2 cables, this adapter supports full 22kW 3-phase charging and ensures a secure handshake with the station.
-
High-Power Capacity: Supports up to 22kW (3-Phase) / 32A continuous.
-
Smart Signal Pass-Through: Full continuity for Control Pilot (CP) and Proximity Pilot (PP) signals.
-
Safety First: Integrated dual-temperature monitoring and lock-engagement logic.
-
Rugged Build: IP55-rated weatherproof housing with silver-plated terminals.
-
Universal Compatibility: Fits all standard CCS2 (Combo 2) charging guns.
Professional Overview
As the CCS2 (Combined Charging System) becomes the ubiquitous standard across Europe and Oceania, many charging sites are replacing modular sockets with permanently tethered CCS2 cables. For drivers of Type 2 vehicles or specific legacy imports, this can create a “standard gap.”
Our CCS2 to Type 2 Adapter provides a high-reliability bridge. We have engineered the internal pin-routing to isolate the AC charging pins and communication logic from the DC high-power pins. This ensures that the charging station recognizes the vehicle as a Type 2 AC load, initiating the session safely without protocol errors. Whether in a commercial fleet environment or public charging network, this adapter ensures zero downtime for Type 2 assets.

Safety & Trustworthiness
AC charging requires precision thermal and electrical management. Our adapter is built to exceed 2026 industrial safety benchmarks:
-
Superior Thermal Conductivity: We utilize 5μm silver plating on all copper alloy pins. This keeps contact resistance below 0.5 mΩ, drastically reducing heat buildup during sustained 22kW charging sessions.
-
Isolation Safety: The internal architecture is designed to physically and electrically isolate the unused DC pins of the CCS2 input, preventing any risk of high-voltage leakage or short-circuiting.
-
Signal Integrity: The adapter acts as a transparent bridge for the Control Pilot (CP) signal, ensuring the station’s charging logic (PWM signal) remains perfectly synchronized with the vehicle’s On-Board Charger (OBC).
-
Certified Quality: Every unit is factory-tested for insulation resistance and high-voltage withstand (2000V AC) to ensure compliance with CE and RoHS directives.

FAQ
-
Can this be used for DC Fast Charging? No. This adapter is designed to extract AC power from a CCS2 cable for vehicles with a Type 2 inlet. It does not convert AC to DC or support high-speed DC charging.
-
Will it work at a Tesla Supercharger? It will work at Tesla “Destination” chargers or Superchargers that have been opened to the public for AC charging via the CCS2 standard, provided the vehicle supports the signal handshake.
-
Does it support 3-phase power? Yes, it is fully wired for 3-phase (L1, L2, L3) to support up to 22kW charging speeds.
