AMPHENOL NACS TO CCS1 ADAPTER: THIS SUPERCHARGER ADAPTER IS FIRST TO RECEIVE SAFETY CERTIFICATION

EV Channels Review

The Amphenol NACS to CCS1 adapter is highlighted as the first to achieve UL 2252 safety certification, a significant milestone in the EV adapter market. The reviewer tested the adapter with a Ford F-150 Lightning, noting that while initial charging sessions were slightly longer than usual, subsequent tests showed performance comparable to other high-quality adapters. The adapter's temperature remained well within safety limits, and Amphenol's representative explained that the 380-amp rating is due to the certification's requirement for testing with non-liquid-cooled cables in worst-case scenarios. Despite this, the adapter is technically capable of higher amperages, especially with liquid-cooled charging guns. The reviewer praises Amphenol's commitment to safety and its robust build quality, making it a recommended option, particularly given the lack of other UL-certified alternatives currently available.
