63A Three-Phase Type 2 EV Charging Plug (IEC 62196-2)
The 16A 32A Type 2 Electric Car Charging Connector (IEC 62196-2) is a widely used AC charging plug designed for electric vehicles (EVs). Compliant with the IEC 62196-2 standard, this Type 2 connector is primarily used in Europe and other regions that follow international EV charging standards. The connector supports both 16A and 32A current ratings, offering flexible charging options depending on the power supply and the vehicle's charging requirements.
The Type 2 EV Charging connector is built for durability and reliability, featuring robust construction with high-quality materials that ensure safe and efficient charging. It is equipped with a lock mechanism to prevent accidental unplugging during the charging process and includes multiple safety features like overcurrent protection, thermal protection, and secure grounding.
The 16A and 32A variants allow for different charging speeds: 16A offers a standard charging rate, while 32A provides faster charging for compatible vehicles. This versatility makes the Type 2 connector an ideal choice for home charging stations, public charging points, and commercial EV infrastructure.
