Manufacturing Custom-Made EV Charging Connectors

As electric vehicles (EVs) surge in popularity, reliable charging solutions have never been more important. At Davantech, we manufacture high-performance, custom EV charging connectors using precision techniques like CNC metal machining, injection molding, and overmolding.

In this guide, we’ll break down:
✔ How custom EV charging connectors are made
✔ Why precision matters for safety & efficiency
✔ The benefits of custom vs. off-the-shelf connectors
✔ Our advanced manufacturing process

Let’s explore what goes into making these critical components.

How Are Custom EV Charging Connectors Made?

1. Precision Metal Contact Machining (CNC)

The foundation of every reliable EV connector is its metal contacts, which must conduct electricity efficiently while resisting wear.

  • Materials Used: High-conductivity copper or brass alloys
  • Process: CNC machining ensures ultra-tight tolerances (as low as 0.01mm) for perfect electrical contact
  • Why It Matters: Poorly machined contacts lead to overheating, slow charging, or even failure

At Davantech, our CNC machines produce consistent, high-precision metal parts that meet strict industry standards.

2. High-Strength Plastic Injection Molding

Next, the metal contacts are encased in a durable plastic housing.

  • Materials Used: Heat-resistant thermoplastics like polycarbonate or nylon
  • Process: Molten plastic is injected into precision molds under controlled pressure and temperature
  • Why It Matters: The housing must resist heat, UV exposure, and mechanical stress

Our automated injection molding systems ensure every connector is identical in strength and dimensions.

3. Protective Overmolding for Durability

The final step adds an extra layer of protection and style by overmolding a TPE or TPU layer around the assembly.

  • Process: A second plastic layer is molded over the assembled connector
  • Benefits:
    • Enhanced durability against drops, moisture, and wear
    • Custom colors & textures to match brand aesthetics
    • Better grip for easier plugging/unplugging

Why Choose Custom-Made EV Charging Connectors?

  • Precision-fit contacts prevent overheating and voltage drops
  • High-quality materials withstand thousands of charging cycles
  • Tested for extreme conditions (heat, cold, moisture)

✔ Perfect Compatibility

  • Tailored to your EV’s power requirements (Level 1, 2, or DC fast charging)
  • No mismatched connections (unlike generic connectors)

✔ Enhanced Aesthetics: Your own Design

  • Custom colors, logos, and finishes for branding
  • Sleek, professional look for public charging stations

✔ Longer Lifespan

  • Reinforced designs resist wear and tear
  • Fewer replacements mean lower long-term costs
