FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 62196-2 has been prepared by IEC subcommittee 23H: Plugs, socket-outlets and couplers
for industrial and similar applications, and for electric vehicles, of IEC technical committee 23:
Electrical accessories. It is an International Standard.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2016. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) interchangeability requirements have been removed from the title of Part 2;
b) alignment with IEC 62196-1:2022 and IEC 62196-3:2022;
c) alignment with IEC 61851-1:2017.

The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
23H/502/FDIS 23H/506/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available

equipment.
IEC 62196 (all parts) specifies the requirements for plugs, socket-outlets, vehicle connectors,
vehicle inlets and cable assemblies as described in IEC 61851 (all parts).
Some charging using on-board vehicle chargers can be achieved by direct connection from an
electric vehicle to an AC supply network using common socket-outlets or by the use of
equipment incorporating control and communication circuits.
To support the connection of AC power for such vehicles, this document provides the standard
interface configurations of AC vehicle couplers and accessories to be used in conductive
charging of electric vehicles, taking the most frequent charging situations into consideration.
IEC 62196 consists of the following parts:
– Part 1: General requirements, comprising clauses of a general character.
– Part 2: Dimensional compatibility requirements for AC pin and contact-tube accessories.
– Part 3: Dimensional compatibility requirements for DC and AC/DC pin and contact-tube
vehicle couplers.
– Part 3-1: Vehicle connector, vehicle inlet and cable assembly intended to be used with a
thermal management system for DC charging.
– Part 4: Dimensional compatibility requirements for DC pin and contact-tube accessories for
Class II or Class III applications.
– Part 6: Dimensional compatibility requirements for DC pin and contact-tube couplers for
applications using a system of protective electrical separation.

Overview
The Standard Sheets 2-I apply to configuration type 1: 32 A, 250 V AC single-phase vehicle
couplers.
For configuration type 1, Annex A "Control pilot function through a control pilot circuit using a
PWM signal and a control pilot wire" and Annex B "Proximity detection and cable current coding
circuits for the basic interface" of IEC 61851-1:2017 shall be applied. +V DC of Table B.1 of
IEC 61851-1:2017 shall be a +5 V regulated supply.
The Standard Sheets 2-Ia define the optional latching system.
For details of the locking of the latch, see IEC 62196-3, Standard Sheet 3-IIIc.
This configuration shall not be used for mode 1 above 150 V line-to-earth.

STANDARD SHEETS 2-II
Overview
The Standard Sheets 2-II apply to configuration type 2: 63 A, 480 V AC three-phase and 70 A,
250 V AC single-phase accessories.
For all ratings of configuration type 2 (see 6.2), the following specifications are applicable:
Interlocking and latching of the accessories is mandatory to prevent them from unintentional
separation and breaking under load. The interlocking shall ensure that the energy transmission
is stopped before separation.
NOTE Interlocking can be performed by mechanical or electromechanical means.
The interlocking means shall offer a feedback to show that the mechanism is in correct
engagement. At least one latching means shall be provided.
The feedback can be offered for example by a supplementary contact.
The pilot contact (CP) shall be used according to IEC 61851-1:2017, Annex A. The proximity
detection contact (PP) shall be used according to IEC 61851-1:2017, Clause B.2.
+V of Figure B.2 of IEC 61851-1:2017 shall be a +5 V regulated supply.
Interoperability of configuration type 2 accessories is indicated in Table 204.
