Terminal assembly for an electric vehicle charger, charger and method of manufacturing of both

An electric vehicle charger, the electric vehicle charger comprising a terminal assembly, wherein the terminal assembly comprises:

• the plurality of power output pins of the connector socket;
• a plurality of conductors connected to the plurality of power out-put pins for connecting the power output pins to the printed circuit board;
• and
• a support unit for receiving the conductors and for arranging and holding the conductors in a fixed position relative to each other, the terminal assembly being mountable directly onto the printed circuit board;
• wherein the electric vehicle charger further comprises:
• the connector socket, the connector socket being externally accessible and having a plurality of power output pins;
• the printed circuit board;
• and
• a housing enclosing the printed circuit board and the terminal assembly arranged thereon.
