IEC 62196-3:2026 clause 26 EV Charging Connector Screwed Gland Tester

Product Overview

The Screwed Gland Tester is designed for torque testing of screwed glands on applicable EV charging connectors and related electrical accessories. It supports testing in accordance with IEC 62196-3:2026 Clause 26 and IEC 62196-1:2025 Clause 26.5, Table 19.

The testing system combines torque wrenches, a holding vice, and interchangeable cylindrical metal mandrels to accommodate different specimen sizes and torque requirements. For projects requiring torque application up to 50 N·m, two torque wrenches are provided to cover different working ranges.

With a selection of mandrel diameters and configurable torque tools, this equipment is suitable for EV connector manufacturers, electrical testing laboratories, quality control departments, and product compliance testing facilities.

Key Features

• IEC 62196 testing: Designed for applicable screwed gland torque tests referenced in IEC 62196-3:2026 and IEC 62196-1:2025.

• Two torque wrench ranges: Includes 1.5–30 N·m and 6.75–135 N·m torque wrenches for different test requirements.

• Multiple mandrel sizes: Supplied with 14 cylindrical metal mandrels to support different specimen dimensions.

• Secure specimen holding: A vice helps hold the test specimen during torque application.

• Flexible test configuration: Suitable for a range of connector sizes and project-specific torque requirements.

• Laboratory and production quality control: Supports product verification for EV charging connector manufacturers and electrical safety laboratories.

Based on the above table, the torque range is 5N.m to 12.5N.m. As per client’s requirements, the torque needs up to 50N.m, so there are equipped two sets of the torque wrenches : one is 1.5~30N.m, the other is 6.75~135 N.m. The whole testing equipment showing as following:

1. Torque wrench 1.5-30 N.m:

2. Torque wrench 6.75-135 N.m:

3. Vice:

4. Mandrels

cylindrical metal rods (Ф5,Ф7,Ф9,Ф10,Ф12,Ф14,Ф16,Ф18,Ф20,Ф22,Ф25,Ф30,Ф32,Ф40mm). If required rods’ diameter are not included, please contact us for customization.
