Portable Charger Connector – 3Pin – 32A

The Portable Charger Connector – 3Pin – 32A is a 32A electrical connector used for charging electric vehicles, specifically portable charging cables, ensuring safe handling of maximum current during the charging process.

3-Pin Design:

• The 3-pin designation indicates that the connector has three contact points or pins that make the electrical connection between the charging cable and the vehicle’s charging port.
• These pins typically include:
• Live (L): The pin that carries the current from the power supply to the vehicle.
• Neutral (N): The return path for the current.
• Earth (E): The ground or safety pin, used for electrical grounding to prevent shocks and ensure safety during charging.

32A Rating:

• 32A refers to the current rating of the connector and cable, meaning it is capable of safely handling up to 32 amps of electrical current.
• This high amperage is typically used for faster charging compared to lower-rated connectors (e.g., 10A or 16A).
• 32A is often associated with Level 2 charging, which is faster than Level 1 charging (typically using a 120V outlet in the US) but not as fast as DC fast charging (Level 3).
• 32A can typically deliver a charging power of 7.2 kW at 240V (in countries like the US, Europe, etc.), providing faster recharging compared to standard home outlets (Level 1, 120V).

Portable Charger Application:

• • This 3-pin, 32A connector is typically used with portable EV chargers, which are often provided with EVs or available for purchase as a backup or alternative to fixed charging stations.
  • Portable chargers with this type of connector can be used to charge the vehicle from various electrical outlets, such as a home wall socket (where a 240V supply is available) or a public charging station, depending on the vehicle and infrastructure.
