Custom EV Charging Pins — CNC Swiss Turned to Your Drawing

VOLCRIX manufactures custom EV charging pins for Type 2 (IEC 62196-2), CCS (IEC 62196-3 / UL 2251), and NACS (SAE J3400 / UL 2251) connectors. Every pin is CNC Swiss turned and made to your drawing — not off-the-shelf, not modified from stock. You send the print, we make the pin.

What We Make

• Type 2 (Mennekes / IEC 62196-2) — L1, L2, L3, N, PE power contacts + CP, PP signal contacts
• CCS (IEC 62196-3 / UL 2251) — DC fast-charge power contacts, up to 500 A / 1000 V DC
• NACS (SAE J3400 / UL 2251) — North American standard power and signal contacts
• Custom / proprietary designs — Any pin geometry, any connector interface

EV Charging Pin Manufacturing You Can Rely On

As a custom EV charging pin manufacturer, VOLCRIX combines Swiss-type CNC turning with complete plating and inspection to deliver connector pins that meet the mechanical and electrical demands of modern charging infrastructure. Every pin we produce — from Type 2 and CCS power contacts to NACS and proprietary designs — is machined from certified bar stock and verified with CMM inspection before shipment.

Our EV charging connector pins are trusted by charging station OEMs, cable assemblers, and connector manufacturers across Europe, North America, and Asia. With low MOQ and prototype lead times of 2–7 days, we support both early-stage product development and high-volume production programs.

Why Choose VOLCRIX for Charging Pins

• Precision machining: Swiss turning holds ±0.01 mm on diameters and bore depths, critical for consistent contact resistance and crimp quality
• Material expertise: C11000 copper, C18150 chromium zirconium copper, C26000 brass, and phosphor bronze — selected for conductivity and thermal performance
• Plating done right: Gold, silver, and tin plating with controlled thickness; selective plating available to reduce cost without compromising contact zones
• Standards compliance: Pins built to IEC 62196-2, IEC 62196-3, UL 2251, and SAE J3400 requirements
• Documentation: Material certificates, plating thickness reports, and dimensional inspection data with every shipment

Applications

Our charging pins are used in AC and DC charging guns, charging stations, vehicle inlets, cable assemblies, and industrial connectors. Whether you need a 500 A DC fast-charge contact or a small CP/PP signal pin, our engineering team will review your drawing and provide DFM feedback before production.

FAQ

What EV charging standards do you manufacture pins for?

We manufacture charging pins for Type 2 (IEC 62196-2), CCS (IEC 62196-3 / UL 2251), NACS (SAE J3400 / UL 2251), and custom proprietary connector designs.

What materials do you use for charging pins?

Common materials include C11000 ETP copper, C18150 chromium zirconium copper, C26000 brass, and phosphor bronze, selected based on current rating and application.

What is the minimum order quantity for charging pins?

MOQ is flexible. Prototype orders start from as few as 10 pieces, and production orders scale to hundreds of thousands.

Do you provide plating on charging pins?

Yes. Gold, silver, and tin plating are available with thickness verification by XRF measurement. Selective plating is offered to reduce cost while protecting critical contact surfaces.

How fast can I get a prototype?

Prototype charging pins ship in 2–7 days after drawing approval. Production tooling and runs follow based on your volume.
