ITT Cannon’s new CCS2 high amperage EV connectors

March 04, 2024

ITT Cannon, a provider of interconnect solutions, has announced the launch of its high-performance CCS2 Electric Vehicle (EV) connector for the European charging station market.

The new connector is a high amperage solution available in 200 A, 250 A, and 300 A variants, with a boost mode that increases its amperage to 500 A. These connectors, designed and manufactured in Europe, feature a unique exchangeable mating face that allows EV charging network providers to perform a quick and seamless infield mating face replacement.

The CCS2 High Amperage connectors combine a modern matte black aesthetic with an ultra-durable UV-resistant design. They are streamlined for weight and size optimization and include an optional power consumption measurement capability for charging station monitoring and maintenance. The connectors are also customizable, offering a unique feature compared to equivalent DC offerings.

Key features of the CCS2 High Amperage solution include flexible ergonomic cables, an uncooled design that requires no liquid refrigerant, an ambient operating temperature range of -30°C to +50°C, IEC 62196-3 certification at VDE, and full RoHS and REACH compliance.
