(Corrigendum)Corrigendum 1 - Plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors and vehicle inlets - Conductive charging of electric vehicles - Part 3: Dimensional compatibility requirements for DC and AC/DC pin and contact-tube vehicle couplers
General Information
- Abstract
IEC 62196-3:2026 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 62196-1:2025.
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 and IEC 61851-23.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2022. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The content of IEC TS 62196-3-1 has been integrated into this document as normative Annex AA.
b) increased ratings for all configurations;
c) reference to new tests in IEC 62196-1:2025 (Clauses 34, 35, 36 and 37).
