Type 2 connector
Imagine you have a toy car that needs a battery to work. The battery has two parts, the positive (+) end and the negative (-) end, and the car also has two parts where you need to connect the ends of the battery, one for the positive and one for the negative.
Now, let's think about charging an electric car. Just like your toy car, the car's battery needs to be connected to an electricity source. But the car's battery is much bigger and much more complicated than your toy car's battery. So, we need a special connector that can handle all that power and data.
This connector is called the Type 2 connector. It has seven pins that allow electricity to flow from the charging station to the car's battery, and also send information like how much electricity is being delivered and at what speed.
To use the Type 2 connector, the car's charging port must have a Type 2 socket, which is shaped like a rectangle with rounded corners. When the connector is plugged into the socket, it clicks into place and a light turns on to indicate that the two are connected.
Once the car and the charging station are connected, the car's battery starts to charge. This process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on how much energy the battery needs and how powerful the charging station is.
So, the Type 2 connector is like a special plug that helps charge an electric car's battery, and it has seven pins that help control the flow of electricity and data.
