2 Product Overview
The Type 2 32A IEC 62196 EV Charging Cable is a Mode 3 AC charging cable designed for safe, efficient, and reliable electric vehicle charging. Fully compliant with IEC 62196-1:2014 and IEC 62196-2:2017, this Type 2 (Mennekes) connector delivers up to 22 kW of charging power via 3-phase 32A current, making it suitable for a wide range of AC charging applications including home wallboxes, workplace chargers, and public charging stations.
The cable assembly features 5 × 6 mm² high-purity copper conductors with Class 5 flexible stranding per IEC 60228, ensuring excellent current-carrying capacity while maintaining flexibility for everyday handling. Two integrated signal conductors (0.5 mm²) support the Mode 3 pilot and proximity communication protocol between the vehicle and the charging station. The silver-plated copper alloy contacts provide low contact resistance and reliable signal integrity over thousands of mating cycles.
The outer jacket is manufactured from TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), offering outstanding flexibility in cold temperatures, superior abrasion and tear resistance, and excellent resistance to oils, greases, and UV exposure. The cable maintains reliable performance across an operating temperature range of -30°C to +50°C, with IP54 ingress protection when mated for dependable outdoor use in all weather conditions.
Manufactured to rigorous quality standards under the management of SORIVO, each cable assembly undergoes 100% electrical testing including insulation resistance, dielectric withstand, and continuity checks. Every unit is traceable and certified for compliance with CE, RoHS, and relevant safety standards. For detailed company information, please visit sorivocable.com/about-us/.
