I want to make an external power supply for my Godox TT685N, and I have two questions:
There are 3 pins on the connector (I found, that this is same conector like Canon) What is the pinout of this connector?
I found that the voltage on this connector is about 300V. Is this correct?
Yes, the voltage is approximately 300 volts and here is a diagram showing the pin connections:
You can buy a complete unit for as little as $27. It doesn't make sense to try and design your own. The have complex electronics inside.

The flash works by discharging a capacitor into a xenon tube, when ionized by a very high voltage pulse to allow conduction. The energy, E, stored in a capacitor is E = CV²/2. Because of the square factor, it's much more productive to increase V (volts) than C (capacitance). With C = 750 µF, V = 283 Volts, you get the 60 Joules of a typical high end cobra flash.
