What is this 2 wire terminal for on the Rivian charger PCB?

What is the connector for with the arrow here? Yes, pulled the plastic shield off, but you can still see it with the shield on.

This board clearly gets used in other applications since there is a lot of unused i/o and that terminal is some kind of low voltage DC output. Probably to power a display board for example (the waypoint chargers have displays).

Good point. There are multiple other connectors, and even that ethernet port might be serial or something else. I was mainly interested if an on/off switch as possible but it doesn't sound like it is.

Interesting it's got an SD card slot (next to thumb in photo)... For flash programming?

Interesting. Hard to tell from the pic if it's a SD card or SIM card slot. Either would be interesting, and both kind of make sense, imo.

SD Card: Could be for programming, but also data logging.

SIM Card: Public installations to support cellular backhaul for updates/diagnostics/billing.

Since the Ublox wifi chip comes with a SDIO reader, and its nearby, I'm guessing it's a SD card wired to it.

Anyways, here's all the photos.
