Type 2 Socket outlet 16A 32A
What is Socket Outlet and where is the application?
Usually EV cars are fitted with a standard male vehicle inlet, whilst charging station are fitted with a female type 2 socket outlet, either directly on the outside of the charging station, or via a flexible charging cable with permanently attached connector on the end. A charging station with a permanently fixed charging cable can be attached directly into the vehicle inlet, similar to using a petrol pump and when no fixed cable is available, a separate male-to-female cable is used to hook up the vehicle either using the charging station, or from a traditional IEC 60309-2 industrial connector.
