This IEC 62196-2 compatible (aka 'Mennekes') made by Duosida socket is designed for use in an EVSE (fixed or portable Electric Vehicle Service Equipment or charge point) and does NOT come with the locking solenoid but has provision for fitting one. This brand is widely used in the EV industry and I carry spare parts for it and other Duosida products.
It has a sprung outer flap for water/dust exclusion.
It comes with 3 x stainless nyloc M5 nuts and plain washers to fit the 3 stainless steel fixing studs.
I comes with a plain translucent silicon sealing gasket (visible in the second photo).
The front bezel (with sprung, hinged flap) separates from the body (see photo 4) and reassembles to then mount onto the panel. The body then attaches from the rear of the panel, the 3 mounting studs passing through the panel.
This socket is 1 phase 32A compatible (ie 7kW max) and comes with 2 blanking discs for the unused L2 & L3 pin holes but 3P 32A (22kW) is possible using the same item with 2 additional pins. Please contact me for more details.
The socket is IP54 rated.
Its conductors should be crimped on using a heavy-duty (eg, hydraulic) crimper. The power pins have 10mm2 (60-70A) conductor entry capacity (4mm diameter). Smaller wire gauges may be doubled (or even trebled) up to ensure a good crimp connection. Up to 16A connections can be made by soldering but a soldering iron of at least 40W should be used as the socket pins are heavy and therefore absorb a lot of heat.
Available from my webshop, EVBitz.uk, are the same sockets pre-crimped to 0.5m of various types of EV charging cable for use in an EVSE.
Approx Socket Dims (mm):- 100W, 100L, 70D. weight:- 310g.
The body of the socket extends ~50mm behind the fixing plane and it requires a ~59mm panel cut-out.
The socket can be dismantled without tools (except for adding a locking solenoid - which requires a T15 Torx driver).
