Abstract
A DC charging module for a charging inlet assembly includes a module housing extending between a front and a rear. The module housing has an inner chamber between the front and the rear. The DC charging module includes a terminal having a mating pin at a front of the terminal and a cable connector at a rear of the terminal. The cable connector is located in the inner chamber of the module housing. The mating pin extends forward of the module housing into the charging inlet assembly for mating with a charging connector coupled to the charging inlet assembly. The DC charging module includes a power cable extending into the inner chamber of the module housing to electrically connect to the cable connector of the terminal. The DC charging module includes a heat exchanger received in the inner chamber of the module housing. The heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the cable connector of the terminal. The heat exchanger includes a coolant channel for coolant flow through the heat exchanger for actively cooling the terminal.
