See Where Our Cables Fit Into Your Charging Equipment

From the charging gun to the internal power loop, every cable and harness has a defined role. Use the map below to identify which assemblies match your charger architecture — so design discussions start with the right reference, not a generic catalogue.

Risk Awareness

What Can Go Wrong in EV Charging Cable Projects?

Small cable issues create large charging-equipment failures — failed homologation, field returns, and missed launch windows. We help you spot the risks early, before tooling and mass production lock them in.

Overheating risk Risk 01
Overheating at Full Load
Undersized conductors or loose crimps generate heat under sustained charging current — degrading insulation and tripping thermal protection mid-session.
Waterproof failure Risk 02
Waterproof Sealing Failure
A connector rated on paper but built with the wrong gland, gasket compression, or backshell lets moisture into outdoor pedestals — corroding pins within months.
Poor contact Risk 03
Poor Contact & Voltage Drop
Inconsistent crimp height or the wrong terminal-wire pairing raises contact resistance — showing up as nuisance trips, slow charging, and intermittent CP signals.
Wire gauge Risk 04
Incorrect Wire Gauge Selection
A gauge spec copied from a previous low-power model leaves no margin for ambient temperature, run length, or peak DC fast-charging current.
Assembly inconsistency Risk 05
Assembly Inconsistency Batch-to-Batch
Harnesses built without documented work instructions vary in routing, tie-down spacing, and labeling — causing production-line rework when units no longer fit the cabinet.
Project delay Risk 06
Delayed Project Launch
Late cable revisions ripple into certification, enclosure tooling, and shipment dates — turning a small drawing change into a quarter-long slip.
Catch these risks at the drawing stage — not at the failure-analysis stage. Our engineers review cable selection, terminal compatibility, and sealing before sampling.

Solutions by Equipment Type

Cable & Harness Solutions Matched to Your Charger

Different charging architectures impose very different cable requirements. Pick your equipment type below to see exactly which cable, harness, and connector solutions fit — and why.

AC wallbox charger
AC Wallbox Chargers

Compact Internal Harnesses With Clean, Repeatable Routing

Wall-mounted units leave little room inside the enclosure. We build harnesses sized to your cabinet drawing, with branch points and tie-down positions matched to your PCB and contactor layout — so every unit looks the same on the production line.

  • Compact harnesses pre-formed to your enclosure dimensions
  • Stable signal transmission for CP, PP, and metering lines
  • Charging-gun cable options in Type 1, Type 2, and GB/T
  • Color-coded, labeled branches for fast assembly-line handling

DC fast charger
DC Fast Chargers

High-Current Cable Assemblies Built for Continuous Load

DC fast-charging cabinets push the cable spec hard — high current, sustained sessions, tight bend radii. We size conductors with thermal margin, use temperature-resistant insulation, and pair them with high-reliability terminals so the assembly behaves the same on day 1 and day 1,000.

  • Heavy-gauge DC cables with thermal margin for sustained sessions
  • Temperature-resistant insulation suited to cabinet hot-spots
  • Reliable, traceable terminals with documented crimp parameters
  • Liquid-cooled cable interface options for high-power gun assemblies

Outdoor charging station
Public Charging Stations

Waterproof Outdoor Connections Built to Outlast the Weather

Roadside and forecourt installations face rain, dust, UV, and field service crews. We focus on properly specified sealing, strain relief, and serviceable connector zones — so a five-year deployment doesn't become a five-year warranty exposure.

  • IP67 / IP68 sealed connector areas with verified gland selection
  • UV- and ozone-resistant jacketing for outdoor cable runs
  • Long-term durability under thermal cycling and field vibration
  • Service-friendly layout for on-site maintenance access

Portable EVSE
Portable EVSE Units

Flexible, Durable Cables That Survive Daily Coil-and-Uncoil

Portable units live in trunks, get dropped, dragged, and coiled around hands. Cable construction matters more here than almost anywhere else — flexibility, abrasion resistance, and plug-end strain relief decide whether a unit lasts one year or five.

  • High-flex cable construction rated for repeated coiling cycles
  • Abrasion- and oil-resistant jacketing for real-world handling
  • Reinforced strain relief at both plug and control-box ends
  • Travel-friendly cable diameter without compromising current rating

Energy storage system
Energy Storage Interface

Stable Power & Signal Links Between Chargers and Batteries

When a charger sits next to a battery cabinet, cable behavior decides system uptime. We build power and signal assemblies sized for the storage architecture — with shielding, length-matched runs, and labeling that survives the install crew.

  • High-current DC links between charger output and storage cabinet
  • Shielded, length-controlled signal harnesses for BMS communication
  • Insulation systems rated for continuous bidirectional load
  • Color, label, and routing schemes aligned to your system drawing
