IEC Type 2 Connector
IEC 62196-2 connectors are used for charging electric vehicles, mainly in Europe. Because it was declared a standard by the EU. Based on the widely available red IEC 60309 three-phase plug with five pins. Depending on the maximum current there are different diameters (most commonly 16A and 32A), so a single size was chosen. Because the maximum possible power will be communicated to the car via two additional communication pins and a simple resistor code inside the cable. The onboard charger in the car must limit the current accordingly.
The connector is round with a flat top edge. The initial design specification comes with an output electrical power of 3-50 kW for charging battery electric vehicles using single-phase (230V) or three-phase (400V) alternating current (AC). In general, the typical maximum power is 32A 7.2 kW using single-phase AC and 22 kW using three-phase AC. The plug has an opening on the side so that both the car and the charger can automatically lock the plug. To prevent unnecessary charging interruptions or cable theft.
