IEC 62196-2 Type 2 AC Charger, Plug for Electric Vehicle, Single Phase, 250V, 16A
Introduction
The IEC 62196-2 type 2 AC charger is engineered for reliable single-phase AC charging in residential and light commercial EV applications. Fully compliant with IEC 62196-2, this Type 2 plug ensures broad compatibility with European-standard electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. Rated at 250V and 16A, it delivers a maximum charging power of 4 kW, providing a stable and efficient charging experience.
Designed for durability and safety, the connector housing is manufactured from high-performance thermoplastic, while the contacts are made of silver-plated copper alloy to minimize contact resistance and enhance conductivity. The robust construction supports long-term operation under frequent plug-in cycles and demanding electrical loads, ensuring consistent performance over time.
With an IP65 protection rating and UL94 V-0 flame-retardant classification, this EV charging plug is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. It operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -30°C to +50°C. The specified wire gauge (3×2.5 mm² + 1×0.75 mm²) further guarantees safe current transmission and thermal stability, making it an ideal choice for OEMs, charging station manufacturers, and EV accessory suppliers.
