Type 1 IEC Tethered AC EV Charging Cables
Volex Type 1 IEC Tethered AC charging cables for electric vehicles (EV) are designed and manufactured for residential and public charging applications. They are available in charging currents of 16A and 32A/40A AC. These charging cables meet the SAE J1772 / IEC 62196 specifications relevant to the North American and Asian EV market segments and are available in IEC cable configurations.
Volex’ Type 1 IEC Tethered AC charging cables include a unibody, seamless coupler design with no external fasteners to prevent user tampering. The single piece body design provides user with enhanced sealing to ensure safe electrical performance and better mechanical strength, high durability and IP67 ingress protection.
These EV charging charging cables are capable of high mating cycle requirements, with testing completed to 10,000 mating cycles. Additionally, these cables meet IEC 62196-2 / EN 50620 cable requirements and are RoHS compliant. Standard cable lengths are 5m, 7.5m and 10m, with customized length options available.
