Protective covers for CCS charging inlets

They ensure that the contact area is reliably protected with IPX5 degree of protection and make electric utility vehicles fit for demanding environmental conditions. In addition to the robust protection, the protective covers feature further smart functions: For example, the AC cover opens automatically when the DC cover is lifted, making operation convenient.

The protective covers are compatible with the Charx control vehicle charging controller and support all common charging standards. With identical screw-on points for CCS type 1 and type 2, the design-in is simple.

Optional extras including a freely controllable RGB LED status display and a function button that can be used to terminate the charging process, for example, can be integrated. The LED display and button are connected via a six-pin MCON connector and the LED display is controlled via pulse width modulation (PWM), which enables the brightness of the LED to be controlled precisely.

The protective covers also meet the requirements of the international safety standard UNECE R61, which regulates the protection of external vehicle parts and thus contributes to the safety of road users.

Overall, the protective covers with dimensions of 170.7 x 184.4 x 41.0mm (without extras) or 61.1mm (with extras) fit flexibly into various vehicle concepts, because the portfolio includes different versions for CCS type 1 and type 2 – meaning that the right solution is available for every application.
