EN IEC 62196-3:2022
Scope
This part of IEC 62196 is applicable to vehicle couplers with pins and contact tubes of standardized configuration, herein also referred to as "accessories", intended for use in electric vehicle conductive charging systems which incorporate control means, with rated operating voltage and current in accordance with IEC 62196-1:2022. This document applies to high power DC interfaces and combined AC/DC interfaces of vehicle couplers that are intended for use in conductive charging systems for circuits specified in IEC 61851-1:2017 and IEC 6185123:-2. The DC vehicle connectors and inlets covered by this document are used only in charging mode 4, according to IEC 618511:2017, 6.2.4, and case C, as shown in IEC 618511:2017, Figure 3. These vehicle couplers are intended to be used for circuits specified in IEC 61851-23: - which operate at different voltages, and which can include ELV and communication signals. This document applies to the vehicle couplers to be used in an ambient temperature between -30 °C and +40 °C. NOTE 1 In some countries, other requirements may apply. NOTE 2 In the following country, −35 °C applies: SE. These vehicle couplers are intended to be connected only to cables with copper or copper-alloy conductors.
