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.
International Standard IEC 62196-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 23H: Plugs, socket-
outlets and couplers foe industrial and similar applications, and for electric vehicles, of IEC
technical committee 23: Electrical accessories.

This part of IEC 62196 is to be read in conjunction with IEC 62196-1. The clauses of the
particular requirements in Part 3 supplement or modify the corresponding clauses in Part 1.
Where the text indicates an "addition" to or a "replacement" of the relevant requirement, test
specification or explanation of Part 1, these changes are made to the relevant text of Part 1,
which then becomes part of the standard.

numbered starting from 301.
In this standard, the following print types are used:
– requirements proper: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in smaller roman type.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,

INTRODUCTION
Responding to global challenges of CO reduction and energy security, the automobile
industries have been accelerating the development and commercialization of electric vehicles
and hybrid electric vehicles.
In addition to the prevailing hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles including plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles are going to be mass-marketed.
To support the diffusion of such vehicles, this standard provides the standard interface
configurations of vehicle couplers to be used in conductive charging of electric vehicles,
taking the most frequent charging situations into consideration.
IEC 62196 is divided into several parts as follows:
– Part 1: General requirements, comprising clauses of a general character.
– Part 2: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements for a.c. pin and
contact-tube accessories.
– Part 3: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements for d.c. and a.c./d.c.
pin and contact-tube vehicle couplers.

Part 3: Dimensional compatibility and interchangeability requirements
for d.c. and a.c./d.c. pin and contact-tube vehicle couplers

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62196 is applicable to vehicle couplers with pins and contact-tubes of
standardized configuration, herein also referred to as “accessories”, intended for use in
electric vehicle conductive charging systems which incorporate control means, with rated
operating voltage up to 1 500 V d.c. and rated current up to 250 A, and 1 000 V a.c. and rated
current up to 250 A.
This part of IEC 62196 applies to high power d.c. interfaces and combined a.c./d.c. interfaces
of vehicle couplers specified in IEC 62196-1:2014, and intended for use in conductive
charging systems for circuits specified in IEC 61851-1:2010, and IEC 61851-23:2014.
The d.c. vehicle connectors covered by this part of the standard are used only in charging
mode 4, according to Case C in Clause 6.2 of IEC 61851-1:2010, Figure 3 in Clause 6.3.1 of
IEC 61851-1:2010 and IEC 62196-2:2011.
The d.c. vehicle inlets covered by this part of the standard are used only in charging mode 4,
according to Case C in Clause 6.2 of IEC 61851-1:2010, Figure 3 in Clause 6.3.1 of
IEC 61851-1:2010.
These vehicle couplers are intended to be used for circuits similar to those specified in
IEC 61851-23 which operate at different voltages and which may include ELV and
communication signals.
This part of IEC 62196 applies to the vehicle couplers to be used in an ambient temperature
of between –30 °C and +50 °C.
NOTE 1 In some countries, other requirements may apply.
NOTE 2 In the following country, –35 °C applies: SE.
These vehicle couplers are intended to be connected only to cables with copper or copper-
alloy conductors.

Additional subclause:
6.301 Configuration EE and FF combined interface
A combined interface extends the use of a basic interface for a.c. and d.c charging. D.C.
charging can be achieved by providing additional d.c. power contacts to supply d.c. energy to
the electric vehicle.
The basic portion of the combined vehicle inlet can be used with a basic connector for a.c.
charging only or a combined vehicle connector for d.c. charging.
Combined couplers shall only be used for d.c. charging with the “d.c. electric vehicle charging
station of System C” described in IEC 61851-23:2014, Annex CC.
General requirements and ratings for all contacts are given in IEC 62196-1:2014, Table 5.
If the a.c. or d.c ratings of a mating connector and inlet differ, the coupler (mating pair) shall
be used at the lower rating of either the vehicle connector or vehicle inlet of the mating
accessory.
Ratings and requirements for the use of the combined interface with a.c. are defined in
IEC 62196-2:2011.
Electric vehicles with a combined vehicle inlet shall withstand a.c. voltage at the power
contacts of the basic portion.

12.1 Replacement:
Accessories shall be provided with a protective earthing contact and earthing terminal in case
that the vehicle is connected galvanically to the mains through this accessory. Protective
earthing contacts shall be directly and reliably connected to the protective earthing terminals.
NOTE if the vehicle is connected to the electric vehicle charging station with the insulating device between the
vehicle and the mains (e.g. insulating transformer), the vehicle is deemed not to be galvanically connected.
