The global shift toward EV (electric vehicles) adoption is accelerating rapidly, and many countries are making plans to establish infrastructure for fast charging. JAE has been developing the KW Series for EV charging infrastructure since 2010, when EVs started to gain popularity, and has continued to bring connectors compliant with various standards, including the CHAdeMO*2 standard, to market. In order to respond to the demands of the global market, we have released the KW11 Series connectors to support CCS Type-1 fast EV charging infrastructure.
The KW21 charging cables from JAE are designed to be IEC 62196-3 standard compliant charging cables. These charging cables are designed for up to 40A or 80A solutions, enabling compact, light and flexible designs to be integrated into any low power DC Charger.
To fit these patterns, EV Chargers are required in every location where electric vehicles will be present, including homes, offices, urban areas, EV Charging Hubs, and highways. The EV Chargers power and functionality can be optimised for each location’s specific requirements.
Benefits
Bidirectional Charging
The extended connection between the electric vehicle and the electric vehicle charger to enable bidirectional charging has been at the forefront of the connector design.
KW21 is compatible with the latest standards, including the latest requirements for vehicle to grid (V2G).
Light Weight and Flexible
Using innovative plastic housing and flexible cabling enables the light-weight connector to be easily maneuvered and mated.
Durable and Highly Weather Resistant
Utilising a double insulation connector design ensures durability and robustness of the KW21 connector during daily usage.
Additionally, whilst mated the connector has a IP56 rating suitable for the wide range of environmental conditions where the electric vehicle chargers will be installed.
Elegantly Compact
An optimised ergonomic grip design and exit angle supports seamless integration into compact electric vehicle chargers for tight parking spaces.
Applications
- DC Charger for EV (CCS Type -2 Compliant)
- Vehicle to Grid (V2G) DC Chargers
- Bidirectional DC Chargers
