CCS2 charging cable
Empower your DC fast-charging infrastructure with the industry-standard CCS2 (Combined Charging System Type 2) cable. Designed for high-performance Direct Current (DC) charging, this cable supports power outputs from 60kW to 350kW, providing the rapid energy transfer modern EVs require. Engineered with silver-plated copper alloy terminals and high-grade TPU insulation for maximum efficiency and long-term durability in commercial environments.
-
Connector Standard: IEC 62196-3 (Combo 2)
-
Power Capacity: Up to 350kW (Customizable Amperage)
-
Ingress Protection: IP67 (Mated) / IP55 (Unmated)
-
Certifications: CE, TUV, UKCA Compliant
The Standard for European & International Fast Charging
The CCS2 charging cable is the backbone of the European and Australian EV fast-charging network. Unlike standard AC cables, the CCS2 (Combo 2) architecture combines two high-current DC pins with the existing Type 2 AC interface, allowing a single vehicle inlet to handle both overnight home charging and rapid highway top-ups.
Uncompromising Safety & Expertise
In high-power DC charging, thermal management is the difference between a successful charge and equipment failure. Our cables are built to exceed standard safety requirements:
-
Advanced Thermal Monitoring: Equipped with dual integrated PT1000 temperature sensors on the DC power terminals. These provide real-time feedback to the charging station to dynamically adjust current, preventing overheating.
-
Superior Conductivity: We utilize silver-plated copper alloy contacts. Silver plating offers lower contact resistance (≤ 0.5mΩ) and better oxidation resistance than standard copper, ensuring stable power delivery over 10,000+ mating cycles.
-
Rugged TPU Insulation: The cable jacket is made from high-performance TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), which remains highly flexible at temperatures as low as -30°C and resists UV, oil, and abrasion better than cheaper PVC alternatives.
-
Secure Locking Mechanism: Fully compatible with vehicle electronic locking systems, ensuring the cable cannot be removed while current is flowing, protecting both the user and the vehicle’s electrical system.

🛠️ Expert Installation & Compatibility Guide
To ensure the highest level of Trustworthiness, please verify the following before installation:
-
Station Compatibility: This cable is intended for Mode 4 DC Fast Chargers. It is not compatible with standard AC wallboxes.
-
Vehicle Match: Specifically designed for vehicles utilizing the CCS2 inlet (common in Tesla Model 3/Y/S/X in Europe, VW ID series, Hyundai Ioniq, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz).
-
Cooling Requirements: For continuous loads exceeding 250A, ensure your charging station’s power module supports the thermal profile of the selected cable gauge.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can this cable be used for AC charging?
A: The CCS2 connector is designed for DC charging stations. While the vehicle inlet accepts AC, this specific cable assembly is for DC fast charging only.
Q: What is the benefit of the IP67 rating?
A: Our IP67 rating means the connector is completely dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water, making it ideal for outdoor public charging stations in heavy rain or snow.
Q: Are custom lengths available for commercial fleets?
A: Yes. While 5m and 7m are standard, we offer customized lengths and OEM branding for charging station manufacturers and fleet operators.
