EV AC Charging Cord

EV AC Charging Cord uses thermoset-insulated conductors rated for high thermal endurance, minimizing dielectric breakdown during prolonged current flow. Cable design ensures minimal conductor skin effect through multi-stranded copper Class 6 wiring. Surface temperature rise remains within IEC 62196-2 thresholds under 32A continuous AC load, reducing risks of insulation creep or thermal runaway. 

Conductor Material

Multi-stranded Class 6 annealed copper (EN 60228 compliant)

Conductor Cross-Section

3×2.5 mm² to 5×10 mm² (depending on current rating)

Insulation Type

XLPE or TPE, rated up to 105°C continuous operating temperature

Rated Voltage

250V AC (single-phase) / 480V AC (three-phase)

Contact Surface Coating

5–10 μm silver plating on copper alloy pins

Product Description

EV AC Charging Cord maintains stable voltage across varying conductor lengths through optimized impedance control and low-resistance copper conductors. Use of harmonics-tuned shielding reduces inductive reactance during high-frequency PWM-based AC charging. Voltage drop remains below 2% over 20-meter cable runs at full rated load, meeting utility-grade transmission criteria. 

Connector Standard

IEC 62196-2 Type 1 / Type 2 / GB/T

Cable Outer Jacket

Halogen-free flame-retardant TPU or TPE (EN 50620 compliant)

Bending Radius (Static/Dynamic)

≥6× outer diameter (static); ≥10× outer diameter (dynamic)

Operating Temperature Range

-40°C to +90°C (ambient)

Ingress Protection (Plug Area)

IP55 (mated), IP67 (optional sealed connectors)

EMC Shielding Coverage

Braided copper shield with ≥85% coverage

Signal Line Resistance Coding

CP (Control Pilot) and PP (Proximity Pilot) resistor configuration per IEC 61851-1

Mechanical Endurance

>10,000 mating/unmating cycles (connector durability)

Flammability Rating

UL 94 V-0 (for insulation and housing materials)

16A, 32A, and 63A options (continuous duty)

16A, 32A, and 63A options (continuous duty)

Technical Advantages

EV AC Charging Cord employs silver-plated brass or copper alloy contact pins with low microroughness, ensuring consistent mating resistance under repeated mechanical engagement. Locking systems are compliant with IEC mechanical retention forces, with micro-switch feedback integration to detect full engagement and prevent energizing under partial connection. Contact arc suppression materials prevent pitting and carbonization during disconnection under load. 

EV AC Charging Cord utilizes elastomeric or polyurethane outer jackets rated to IP67 ingress standards and tested per ISO 4892-2 for UV resistance. Cable materials pass ISO 6722 for automotive fluid resistance and operate reliably from -40°C to +90°C ambient exposure. Jacket insulation maintains dielectric strength after 1000 hours in salt-spray chambers per ASTM B117.

EV AC Charging Cord

Cross-Platform Connector Interoperability

EV AC Charging Cord supports both single-phase and three-phase AC protocols across Type 1, Type 2, and GB/T interfaces. Pilot signal resistors and CP/PP encoding circuits follow IEC 61851-1 standards for automated vehicle identification and charging control logic. Pin configurations conform to national grid variations and socket layouts, eliminating the need for adapters at infrastructure level. 

EV AC Charging Cord integrates NTC thermistors and thermal fuses at both the plug head and vehicle interface. Feedback circuits interface with EVSE to shut down AC supply when surface temperatures exceed preset thresholds. Overcurrent and earth fault detection systems follow IT/TN grounding norms and trip within 20ms during fault scenarios.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure dimensional tolerance and contact reliability in EV AC Charging Cord connectors?

Frigate uses precision CNC-machined dies for contact components, maintaining tolerances within ±0.02 mm. All pins are silver-plated with a uniform thickness of 5–10 μm for stable conductivity. Connectors are tested for insertion force and retention strength per IEC 62196 standards. Frigate validates over 10,000 mating cycles with no measurable increase in contact resistance. 

What materials does Frigate use to enhance environmental resistance in EV AC Charging Cord jackets?

Frigate selects halogen-free flame retardant TPE or TPU for high resistance to UV, water, and chemicals. Jacket materials meet ISO 6722 and EN 50620 automotive-grade standards. Cable insulation remains stable in -40°C to +90°C environments. Each batch undergoes accelerated aging and salt spray testing to confirm outdoor performance. 

 

How does Frigate handle harmonics and EMI issues in EV AC Charging Cord for high-frequency AC chargers?

Frigate integrates braided copper shielding with >85% coverage to suppress EMI up to 1 MHz. Cable geometry is optimized to reduce inductive coupling between power and control lines. Twisted pilot and proximity signal pairs maintain signal integrity in high-frequency switching zones. This ensures compliance with CISPR 25 and IEC 61000-4 EMC standards. 

 

How does Frigate support safety interlocks in EV AC Charging Cord assemblies?

Frigate designs connector housings with built-in microswitches for mechanical interlock feedback. These switches communicate with EVSE to prevent energization before full coupling. Contact pins are recessed and follow touch-safe design per IEC 62196-2. Safety circuits disconnect AC within 20 milliseconds of unauthorized plug removal. 

What testing does Frigate perform to validate mechanical life of EV AC Charging Cord under field stress?

Frigate performs dynamic bending, torsion, and tensile load tests on complete cord sets per IEC 60227-2. Each cord endures 10,000 flex cycles at -20°C without cracking or insulation breakdown. Connectors are drop-tested from 1 meter on concrete to simulate field impacts. Final assemblies undergo 100% high-voltage and continuity testing before shipment.
