What to Look For

Type 2 (Mennekes) is the standard AC charging connector in Europe and most global markets (except North America and Japan).

Key Features:

  • 7-pin design supports 3-phase power
  • Single-phase: 230V, 16A-32A (3.7-7.4 kW)
  • Three-phase: 400V, 16A-63A (11-43 kW)
  • Locking mechanism for secure connection

Common Configurations:

  • Type 2 to Type 2 (portable cable for public charging)
  • Type 2 to Type 1 (adapt EU chargers for older EVs)
  • Fixed Type 2 socket (wallbox installations)

Technical Requirements:

  • Proper conductor sizing for rated current
  • IP44 minimum for connectors (IP54 recommended)
  • Locking mechanism must meet IEC 62196-2 retention force
  • Temperature range: -30°C to +50°C

Common Mistakes

Confusing Type 2 with Type 1 (incompatible)

Not specifying single-phase vs three-phase capability

Inadequate IP rating for outdoor use

Wrong cable length for application

Red Flags I Check

Factory doesn't understand 3-phase vs single-phase

Pricing too low (likely using undersized conductors)

No IP rating specified

Can't provide conductor sizing documentation
