Type 1 - Single Phase 32 A Charge Connector Socket With 3 m Cable

A Type 1 charging inlet for the vehicle side, single phase and rated 32 A, supplied pre wired with three metres of cable.

Type 1 is the older single phase standard, also called J1772. It was common on Japanese and American vehicles and on earlier European ones, and it appears in conversions built around donor hardware from those cars. Unlike Type 2 it has no three phase pins at all, so it is single phase only by design rather than by rating.

At 32 A single phase this delivers about 7.4 kW, which is the practical ceiling for single phase AC charging and roughly twice what the 16 A inlet gives. On a car whose onboard charger can take 7 kW, this is the inlet that will not hold it back.

The pre wired tail is what makes it worth buying assembled. Terminating a charge inlet means getting the conductors into a sealed body without compromising the seal, and the consequence of doing it badly is water in a connector mounted on the outside of the car.

Key specifications

Features

• 32 A, the practical ceiling for single phase AC charging
• Arrives pre wired and sealed, so the difficult termination is already done
• Three metres of tail, enough to reach from a wing to most charger locations
• The right inlet for a conversion built around Type 1 donor hardware

Compatibility

For conversions using Type 1 charging. If you are building for the UK or Europe and have a free choice, Type 2 is the current standard and gives access to far more public charging.

The 16 A version is the lower rated option, which is enough for overnight charging on a small pack and costs less to install.

The inlet does not charge anything on its own. The charger, the control pilot handling and the protection are all separate.
