ChargePapa DC-Link | CCS1 to CCS2 DC Fast Charging Adapter (400A / 1000V)
Couldn't load pickup availability
Last Updated: May 2026
Charge Your EU-Spec EV at Any CCS1 Station in North America.
400A · 1000V · Industrial-Grade DC Link.
The ChargePapa DC-Link CCS1 to CCS2 Adapter bridges North American CCS1 DC fast chargers to European CCS2 vehicles. Rated at 400A / 1000V DC with a built-in thermal kill switch, IP54 protection, and a 12-month warranty. Designed for EU-spec EVs operating in the US market.

🔌 Conversion Logic
The adapter physically converts the CCS1 (SAE J1772 combo) station connector to the CCS2 (IEC 62196-3) vehicle inlet. DC power passes through directly with no active electronics — full rated current at all times.

The built-in temperature sensor monitors the adapter body during charging. If the temperature reaches 90°C — which can occur during sustained high-current sessions — the kill switch interrupts the charging session automatically to prevent damage to the adapter or vehicle inlet.
This is a passive physical adapter. It does not perform protocol conversion or signal translation. It is suitable for vehicles and stations that share the same DC charging communication protocol (ISO 15118 / DIN 70121) but use different connector formats.
No. This adapter is for CCS1 station to CCS2 vehicle only. Tesla Supercharger access for CCS2 vehicles requires a separate NACS-to-CCS2 adapter solution.
The connector is rated for more than 10,000 mating cycles under normal operating conditions. The adapter carries a 12-month manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
✅ Standards & Certifications
Certifications confirmed in product specification:
- CE — Conformité Européenne. Confirms compliance with EU safety, health, and environmental requirements. References IEC 62196-3 (CCS2) and relevant LVD/EMC directives.
- FCC — Federal Communications Commission. Confirms compliance with US electromagnetic interference (EMI) limits for electronic devices.
⚠️ Critical Usage Note
This adapter is designed for CCS2-inlet vehicles at CCS1 DC fast charging stations only. Do not use in the reverse direction. Do not exceed the rated 400A DC / 1000V operating limits. Inspect the adapter before each use — do not use if the housing is cracked or contacts are damaged. The thermal kill switch is a safety feature, not a substitute for proper load management. Keep the adapter dry and within the rated operating temperature range.
