@tommolog released a new video last week on this DCFC adapter. Amphenol is a well-known brand. And this is the first DCFC adapter to pass the new UL Standard Adapters for Use with Electric Vehicle Couplers (UL 2252, March 2025)
Bullet points
Price $200
Max Volt: 1000V
Max Amps: 380 (certified number, but does 500)
Automatic locking on both sides
Made in India
On the the amp rating go to 17:30 in the video for an explanation. No DCFC adapter currently on the market could meet the 500A UL2252 standard (must hold for 30 minutes). They would de-rate with thermal sensors before then. Would likely need liquid cooling to stay at 500A for 30 minutes. Hopefully this doesn't bite them as the uneducated would say "Stay away-can't do 500". It appears to be just as capable as others on the market - will be curious to see if others pursue the UL 2252 rating (and have to drop their 500A claims).
Tom was able to get the 6-8 minute 500A output that the Ford charge curve typically will give. As usual, he did a thorough test on power and temps.
