This detailed description presents the Rotrix EVH-055 type electric vehicle (EV) adapter, which allows users to connect Type 2 charging cables to electric or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles that have a Type 1 charging socket. Manufactured by the Rotrix brand, the adapter offers a high-quality solution for meeting temporary charging needs, ensuring safe and efficient power transfer.
The EVH-055 adapter is an essential accessory in the world of electric mobility, especially where different charging standards meet. This converter bridges the compatibility gap between Type 2 (IEC 62196-2, female end) and Type 1 (JAECO 0722, male end) connectors.
Main Advantages:
Expanding Compatibility: It enables the use of widely spread Type 2 charging cables for vehicles with older or specific Type 1 inputs, such as certain Nissan LEAF or Kia Soul EV models.
High-Performance Charging: The adapter supports a maximum current of 32 Amps, allowing for up to 7.4 kW charging power from a single-phase network. This ensures fast and reliable charging at the maximum speed available for Type 1 vehicles.
Robust Design: The product features a durable plastic casing that complies with strict fire safety regulations.
Water Resistance: Its IP54 protection rating guarantees safe operation under normal weather conditions, providing protection against splashing water.
The precise technical parameters of the EVH-055 adapter ensure reliable and safe operation during the charging process.

Safety was the primary consideration in the design of the Rotrix adapter. The UL94 V-0 quality plastic casing means the housing material is extremely resistant to flame propagation, which is critical for high-current charging applications.
The IP54 protection ensures the adapter can withstand external environmental influences. Although not completely waterproof (like IP67), it offers sufficient protection against penetration by rain droplets or dust that may occur during normal outdoor use while charging is in progress.
A 80 N insertion force guarantees that connections are tight and stable, minimizing potential sources of error and overheating from loose contact.
This adapter is the ideal solution for users who have a Type 2 charging cable (often standard equipment at public charging points or newer charging stations), but whose vehicle is still equipped with a Type 1 connector. Operation is extremely simple:
Connect the Type 2 charging cable to the Type 2 (female) end of the adapter.
Connect the Type 1 (male) end of the adapter to the vehicle's charging port.
The charging process starts automatically, operating within the limits of 32A/250V.
This flexibility increases the number of charging opportunities and reduces the user's need to carry a separate Type 1 cable for every situation.
The EVH-055 adapter primarily provides significant assistance in the following areas:
Private Use: Owners who have a Type 2 cable but need to charge an older Type 1 vehicle at home or public Type 2 charging points.
Fleet Management: Companies operating a mixed EV/PHEV fleet and wishing to standardize their charging cable inventory.
Service Centers and Workshops: Professionals who charge various types of vehicles for diagnostic or maintenance purposes and require quick conversion.
As part of Rotrix's wide product range, positioning itself as a specialist in charging, starting, and cooling, the EVH-055 adapter can be complemented by other solutions. For example, if the situation is reversed, and you have a Type 1 cable but need to charge a vehicle with a Type 2 inlet, the Rotrix EVH-054 Adapter Type 1 to Type 2 may be the right choice.
This product belongs to the category of Rotrix electric vehicle charging accessories, emphasizing the brand's commitment to supporting electric mobility infrastructure.
