We’re excited to unveil our latest innovation: the EV Connector Withdrawal Force Test Apparatus. This test machine is designed to meet the requirements of IEC 62196-1:2022 clause 16.16.

Test Principle: The charging interface structure should allow for easy insertion of the charging gun. This apparatus tests whether the maximum force required to insert the charging gun into the socket falls within the limits specified by the standard.

How It Works: To simulate real-world conditions, the charging gun is inserted into the socket with a vertical downward force. The test is conducted by placing the required main weight (as specified by the standard) on the charging gun. A 0.8kg weight is then dropped freely from a height of 5cm to impact the main weight, helping to insert the charging gun into the socket to the correct contact position.

This test ensures the reliability and ease of use of the charging system, providing confidence that your equipment meets the required standards for safe and effective operation.

Weight configuration:

Main weight of AC charging gun: 9.2kg

Main weight of DC charging gun: 13.2kg

Additional weight: 0.8kg

Note: The weight of the main weight includes the weight of the clamp, guide rod, steel ball basin and charging gun sample. The weight of the main weight excluding the sample is about 4kg. In addition, 10kg steel balls are configured for fine-tuning the weight so that the weight of the entire main weight meets the insertion force requirements of AC or DC guns.
