IEC 62196 Type 2 Cable Selector

IEC 62196 Type 2 Cable Selector

This selector covers ShinCharge's Mode 3 AC type 2 to type 2 charging cable range, where one V3 family splits into four rated builds across 16A and 32A in single-phase and three-phase. Use it to match a project's supply phase, current and run length to one exact model number, so a team sourcing a type 2 to type 2 ev charging cable can specify cable, certificate set and length on a single line.

Written for procurement engineers, installer and EPC buyers, and distributor category managers who specify at volume and need a defensible SKU.

Quick-select: phase, current and model

Start from the electrical supply, not the cable. Phase and rated current determine the model number, and the model number determines the rated power you can quote.

Supply phase Rated current Recommended model Rated power Typical deployment
1-phase 16A V3-16S 3.5 kW · AC 250V Light AC points, home and small commercial bays
1-phase 32A V3-32S 7 kW · AC 250V Residential setups and workplace charging
3-phase 16A V3-16T 11 kW · AC 480V Workplace and retail parking with balanced load
3-phase 32A V3-32T 22 kW · AC 480V Fleet operations and public AC charging bays

Not sure which build fits the project? Send us the phase, current and run length and we will confirm the model number and the certificate set for your destination market.

How the V3 cable is identified and supplied

Every V3 cable carries its own model number and cable specification marking, and ships in the labelled packaging case shown below. That marking is what lets an installer, an EPC buyer and a distributor confirm they are holding the same rated build.

Traceability buyers can quote against

  • Model marking on the cableThe page states the model No. and cable specification are marked on the product, so a 16A single-phase build is never confused with a 32A three-phase build on site.
  • TPU jacket for lifetime protectionA jacket chosen for mechanical strength and environmental resistance across repeated coil-and-deploy cycles.
  • Silicone dust-proof cap, attached on tailThe cap stays with the cable instead of being lost, keeping connector contacts clear between sessions.
  • Double colour designThe two-tone build is described on the page as both attractive and practical for identifying cable runs.

Certification and market compliance

The V3 product detail lists six compliance items. Each one answers a different question, and a distributor shipping into several markets usually needs more than one on the same datasheet.

TUV-Mark

Independent third-party safety

A third-party certification mark issued after independent testing. Buyers use it when a project owner or tender requires evidence beyond self-declaration.

CB

IECEE CB scheme

A CB test certificate supports national approvals in participating countries, which shortens re-testing when a cable is added to a new market's catalogue.

CE

European market access

Conformity marking for placing the cable on the EU market. Purchasing teams normally ask for the CE entry alongside the TUV-Mark entry.

RoHS

Restricted substances

Confirms the cable meets restrictions on hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, a standard line in most EU procurement checklists.

UKCA

Great Britain conformity

The conformity marking used for the Great Britain market, relevant when a distributor serves both EU and UK sales channels.

REACH

Chemical compliance

Covers the EU chemical substances framework. Often requested by buyers who must submit a substance declaration with their own product file.

Build and ordering options

Four decisions turn a standard V3 cable into a project-ready line item: length, colour, branding and packaging.

Length

5M, 7M or 10M

Regular lengths are 5M, 7M and 10M, with custom lengths available. Choose the length from the parking geometry, not the vehicle, so a shared bay works for every user.

Jacket

TPU jacket

The TPU jacket is specified for lifetime protection, giving the mechanical strength and environmental resistance an outdoor or semi-exposed bay needs.

Connector care

Silicone dust cap on tail

A silicone dust-proof cap is attached on the tail so it stays with the cable, keeping the connector free of dust and water between charging sessions.

Branding

Colour and logo printing

Custom colours and logo printing are available, alongside the standard double colour design, for distributors building a private-label accessory line.

Durability

10,000+ mating cycles

The page states connector components exceed coupling force requirements with a lifespan exceeding 10,000 cycles, which sets the maintenance assumption for high-traffic bays.

Identification

Model and spec marking

Because the model number and cable specification are marked on the product, mixed fleets can verify each cable on site without opening a purchase file.

Deployment scenarios and the spec they demand

ShinCharge lists commercial EV parking facilities, public charging stations, residential setups, fleet operations and workplace charging as the intended applications. Each one resolves to a different V3 build.

Deployment scenario Buyer decision that drives the spec Recommended V3 build
Residential setup Single-phase domestic supply, overnight charging, cable hung on a wall bracket V3-32S · 32A · 7 kW · 5M
Workplace charging Three-phase supply shared across bays, driver dwell time of several hours V3-16T · 16A · 11 kW · 5M or 7M
Commercial EV parking facilities Mixed single- and three-phase feeds across a site; standardising on one jacket and marking V3-32S and V3-16T mixed per bay
Fleet operations High throughput, repeated coil-and-deploy cycles, fast turnaround between vehicles V3-32T · 32A · 22 kW · 7M
Public charging stations Weather exposure, connector care between users, long-reach parking bays V3-32T · 32A · 22 kW · 10M

Two facts decide most of these rows: the supply phase available on site and the rated power the charger can deliver. Confirm both before fixing the cable length. Ask our team to check a mixed-site BOM.

OEM, ODM and volume supply

The V3 cable is supplied through an inquiry and quotation path rather than a direct checkout, which is what a B2B order process needs. Bring your specification and the quote covers the rest.

  • Custom length, colour and logo printingBuild a private-label cable line on the same V3 platform instead of commissioning a new tooling set.
  • Six compliance entries on one datasheetTUV-Mark, CB, CE, RoHS, UKCA and REACH support multi-market catalogue listings from a single order.
  • Model and spec markingTraceable marking across a mixed fleet, so a 32A three-phase build cannot be substituted on site.
  • OEM and ODM manufacturingShinCharge operates as an EV charging products OEM and ODM manufacturer, so custom requests are handled at source.

Send a specification, get a model number

Share the supply phase, rated current, run length, jacket colour and required certificates. You will get a model number from the V3 table, the matching specification, and pricing for your volume. Reach the team through the contact page to start the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

which v3 model should i choose for a 22 kw three-phase installation?

use v3-32t: 3-phase, 32a, rated ac 480v and 22 kw. for an 11 kw three-phase supply choose v3-16t. for single-phase supplies choose v3-32s at 7 kw or v3-16s at 3.5 kw.

what certifications does the v3 type 2 to type 2 cable carry?

the product detail lists tuv-mark, cb, ce, rohs, ukca and reach. confirm the exact certificate set required for your destination market when you request a quotation.

what lengths and cable jacket are available?

regular lengths are 5m, 7m and 10m, and custom lengths are available. the cable uses a tpu jacket, and a silicone dust-proof cap is attached on the tail.

can i order custom lengths, colours and logo printing?

yes. the product page states that custom lengths, colours and logo printing are available for oem work. share artwork, target length and volume so the quotation reflects the exact configuration.

what is the protection rating and the connector lifespan?

the cable is rated ip65 for dust and water ingress protection. the page also states that connector components exceed coupling force requirements with a lifespan exceeding 10,000 mating cycles.

does this cable work with any type 2 vehicle and charging point?

the v3 is an iec 62196 type 2 to type 2 cable, so it links a type 2 charging point to a type 2 vehicle inlet. the page describes compliance with iec 62196 and support for single-phase and three-phase charging modes. confirm the vehicle inlet and the charger socket rating before ordering.
