Type 2 to Type 1 Adapter: 32A (7.2kW) Specifications
This adapter connects a standard Type 2 charging cable to a Type 1 vehicle inlet. It supports a continuous load of 32A (7.2kW) on a single phase.
- Silver-Plated Pins: Internal contacts use copper alloy with silver plating. This design minimizes resistance and heat buildup during long charging sessions.
- Current Management: Works with both 16A (3.6kW) and 32A (7.2kW) onboard chargers. The adapter passively bridges the connection, allowing the car and station to negotiate the correct current.
- Standard Compliance: Built to IEC 62196 (Type 2) and SAE J1772 (Type 1) standards. It ensures a secure mechanical fit and reliable signal transmission for every charge.

Type 2 to Type 1 Adapter: IP54 Outdoor & Security Features
Charging equipment faces harsh realities: rain, dust, and public access. For a Type 2 to Type 1 adapter to be viable for daily use, durability is a requirement, not a feature.
- IP54 Weather Resistance: The adapter housing is sealed against water spray and dust ingress. It remains safe and functional in open driveways or public lots, even during heavy rain or snow.
- Dual-End Locking: The Type 2 plug interfaces with the station’s locking solenoid to prevent removal during the active charging cycle. The Type 1 connector includes a standard latch aperture for a padlock, securing the vehicle side against tampering or theft.
Retail-Ready Type 2 to Type 1 Adapter Options
For traders and retailers, a product must be ready for the shelf, not just the warehouse. Customization options help build brand loyalty and simplify inventory management.
- Laser Engraving: Logos or model numbers can be laser-etched directly onto the adapter housing. This helps distinguish stock, reduces warranty confusion, and keeps the seller’s brand visible during every use.
- Retail Packaging: Units are available in neutral, recyclable boxes for immediate distribution, or custom color packaging for retail display. No need for repacking—it arrives ready to sell.
- Flexible Stocking: Standard 32A adapters are often kept in stock to support smaller initial orders. This allows for market testing without the pressure of heavy inventory commitment.
