Abstract: An electric vehicle charging connector (100) comprising an external enclosure (104), an inner enclosure, and a compartment (102) for power contacts. The external enclosure (104) encloses an inner enclosure (103), and is configured to receive and guide a cable (101) from a back end (111) of the electric vehicle charging connector (100) to the inner enclosure (103) at a front end (113) of the electric vehicle charging connector (100). The inner enclosure (103) comprises the compartment (102) and is configured to provide the cable (101) to the compartment (102). The electric vehicle charging connector (100) further comprises a heat pipe (106) comprising an evaporator (107), and a condenser (109). The evaporator (107) is attached to a heat source in the compartment (102) inside the inner enclosure (102), configured to conduct heat from the heat source via the external enclosure (104) to the environment, wherein at least a part of the heat pipe (106) is arranged outside the external enclosure (104).
