Sumitomo Electric Launches the High-Power SEVD™-11U EV Quick-Charger Connector Assembly

The SEVD™ series is a line of quick-charger connector assemblies used for charging and discharging electric vehicles. Since its release in 2011, this series has been highly regarded for the superior operability, high level of safety, durability and excellent design.

Lately, as the capacity of the batteries installed in electric vehicles has been increasing, there has been a need for faster charging equipment that can accommodate more power. To satisfy this need, the Company has developed SEVD™-11U, a new quick-charger connector assembly that boasts the largest capacity in CHAdeMO-specific connectors, as a new line of the SEVD™ series. SEVD™-11U has obtained UL certification,*¹the North American safety standard.

The Company is planning to add CE*²-certified models that meet EU safety standards and domestic models to this lineup.

Compared to SEVD™-02U, the conventional model with an output rating of 125 A at 500 VDC, SEVD™-11U achieves ratings of 200 A at 600 VDC, 1.9 times higher output.

Based on the design of the current SEVD™ series, this connector assembly is also very easy to use and ensures the same high level of safety.
