The plug is designed for use in EV charging cables and will plug into any compatible, male Type 2 socket normally found on EU EVs such as the EU version Tesla Model S (please se the note below), Renault Zoe, BMW i3, Audi e-Tron, VW e-UP and VW e-Golf. It is the FEMALE side of the connection and so has SLEEVES not PINS.
If you want a single phase 16A or 32A plug then order the ‘1P S’ option (L2 & L3 pins will be missing and blanks provided), if you want a 3 phase 16A one then order the ‘3P S’ option. Lastly, f you want a 32A 3P plug then order the ‘3P L’ option. The only difference between ‘S’ and ‘L’ plug bodies is the size of the cable inlet. ‘S’ plugs have a maximum cable diameter of 18mm; ‘L’ plugs have a maximum cable diameter of 25mm. You may find that your 32A 3P cable will fit in the smaller plug, in which case you can order the ‘3P S’ option.
The socket is designed for use in an EVSE (fixed or portable Electric Vehicle Service Equipment or charge point) and does NOT come with the locking solenoid. It has a sprung-flap. It has 3 integral stainless steel M5 x 10mm fixing studs which come with stainless steel plain washers and nyloc nuts.
It can be ordered in 1 phase or 3 phase versions (in the case of 1P, L2 & L3 pins will be missing and blanks provided), as well as with 0.3m long connection tails pre-attached using an 8T hydraulic crimper.
Tail details:- Power - 16A: 2.5mm2 CSA, 32A - 6.0mm2 CSA, multi-strand - Colours; L1 - brown, L2 - black, L3 - grey , N - blue, E - green/yellow.
Signal - 0.5mm2 CSA, multi-strand - Colours; CP - black, PP - red.
The ‘power’ earth tail has a flying 0.5mm CSA earth lead to connect to the EPC earth terminal.
All tails are terminated with an appropriately sized ferrule.
The conductors should be crimped using a heavy-duty (eg, hydraulic) crimper.
All pins/sleeves have a conductor entry hole of 4mm diameter, large enough for 10mm2 (60A-70A) conductors, maximum.
To order the plug with suitable cable pre-attached, see here. To order the socket with cable attached, see purchase button drop-down.
