Type 2 to Type 2 ev charging cable
The industry-standard solution for the European EV market. Our Type 2 to Type 2 EV charging cable provides a high-reliability bridge between any universal untethered charging station and your vehicle. Available in 20A and 32A (Single and Three-Phase) configurations, it delivers up to 22kW of power. Engineered with silver-plated terminals and premium TPU insulation, it is built for 10,000+ mating cycles in all weather conditions.

Professional Engineering for Modern E-Mobility
Seamless Interoperability Across Europe
The Type 2 to Type 2 charging cable (Mennekes) is the universal standard for AC charging across Europe, the UK, and parts of the Asia-Pacific. Whether you are using a 7kW home wallbox or a 22kW public destination charger, our cables ensure a secure, high-speed handshake between the EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) and your vehicle’s onboard charger.
Technical Expertise & Safety Integrity
When selecting a cable, technical specifications determine both charging speed and user safety. Our cables are engineered to the highest professional standards:
-
High-Conductivity Silver Plating: We utilize 5μ silver-plated copper alloy for all seven pins. This premium plating offers the lowest possible contact resistance ($\leq 0.5m\Omega$), preventing the terminal heat rise often seen in cheaper nickel-plated alternatives during long 32A sessions.
-
Premium TPU Insulation (EN 50620): Our cables are jacketed in high-performance TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). Unlike standard PVC, TPU remains supple at -30°C, resists UV degradation, and is highly resistant to oils and chemicals, ensuring a service life of over 10 years.
-
Mechanical Resilience: Designed for the real world, the connector heads feature a unibody, screwless design that passed a 2-ton vehicle drive-over test. The internal structure is protected against impact and accidental drops from heights of up to 1 meter.
-
Intelligent Safety Communication: Built-in Control Pilot (CP) and Proximity Pilot (PP) signal pins ensure that power is only delivered when the cable is securely locked and the vehicle is ready, preventing electrical arcing.

🛠️ Selection Guide: 20A vs. 32A
To ensure Trustworthiness for your project, choose the cable that matches your infrastructure:
-
20A (up to 13.8kW): A lightweight, highly portable option. Excellent for daily commuters with cars that have an 11kW onboard charger.
-
32A (up to 22kW): The Future-Proof choice. Even if your current car only takes 7kW, a 32A three-phase cable will work with any future vehicle and take full advantage of fast public AC charging points.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a 22kW (32A) cable on a 7kW home charger?
A: Yes. The cable is “smart” and will safely communicate with the charger to provide the maximum power allowed by the station or the car (whichever is lower).
Q: What is the difference between Single-Phase and Three-Phase?
A: Single-phase is typical for home charging (max 7.4kW). Three-phase is common in commercial buildings and public stations, allowing for speeds up to 22kW. We recommend the 3-phase version for maximum flexibility.
Q: Is TPU really better for cold weather?
A: Absolutely. Low-cost PVC cables become stiff like a “frozen garden hose” in winter. Our TPU cables remain flexible and easy to coil even in freezing temperatures.
