IEC 62196-1 Short-time Test Current & Temperature Rising Test System in EV Connector Testing
2025-09-28
With the rapid growth of the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry, ensuring the safety and reliability of plugs and sockets has become a top priority for manufacturers and testing laboratories. One of the critical challenges is verifying that connectors can withstand short-time high current and maintain safe temperature rise levels under rated load conditions.
A leading EV charging equipment manufacturer approached us to find a comprehensive testing solution that could not only meet IEC 62196-1 requirements but also improve testing efficiency and reliability.
The customer needed to conduct temperature rise tests on EV plugs and sockets under continuous high-current operation.
They also required short-time withstand current testing for grounding contacts up to 6500A, with precise monitoring of terminal heating.
Traditional testing setups were time-consuming, lacked automated data analysis, and could not guarantee repeatable accuracy.
We provided the IEC 62196-1 Short-time Test Current and Temperature Rising Test System, fully compliant with:
IEC 62196-1 Ed.4CDV 2020 (Clauses 12.3, 24, 34.2, 34.4, 35.4)
IEC 62916-2 & IEC 62916-3
The system delivered adjustable DC current up to 6500A with high stability, allowing precise short-time current tests.
16-channel temperature measurement ensured accurate monitoring of contact and surface heating.
The computer-controlled interface allowed automated test sequences, real-time data visualization, and report generation in CSV/XLSX formats.
With automatic ambient compensation and overload protection, the system minimized risk and improved operator safety.
The Results
The customer successfully completed temperature rise compliance testing on multiple charging connector designs.
They reduced test preparation and reporting time by over 40% thanks to automated data collection and analysis.
The system enabled them to identify critical design flaws in terminals at early stages, avoiding costly redesigns later.
Their products achieved faster IEC compliance certification, helping them enter international markets ahead of schedule.
Why This Matters
This case demonstrates how a specialized test system can significantly improve the accuracy, efficiency, and compliance of EV charging connector testing.
For manufacturers, it means faster time-to-market and improved product reliability. For laboratories, it ensures standardized and repeatable testing processes.

New Launch of IEC 60068-2-11 Compound Salt Spray Test Chamber – 1m³
2025-07-29
We are proud to introduce our latest IEC 60068-2-11 compliant Compound Salt Spray Test Chamber, model SN8810C-1m³ — a state-of-the-art solution for cyclic corrosion testing in salt-contaminated outdoor simulation environments.
Why Choose Compound Salt Spray Corrosion Testing?
Corrosion of metallic materials is influenced by numerous environmental variables, and standard accelerated tests like NSS, AASS, and CASS often fall short in reproducing real-world degradation. Our SN8810C chamber overcomes this by integrating salt spray, high temperature, dryness, and humidity cycles to more accurately simulate outdoor atmospheric corrosion.
Whether your product is coated, uncoated, galvanized, or painted, this chamber provides comparative data essential for materials research, quality control, and reliability validation in sectors like automotive, marine, electronics, and construction materials.
Key Technical Features
Standard Compliance: Meets IEC 60068-2-11 1M3 standard for environmental salt spray testing.
Multi-Environment Simulation: Alternating hot, humid, dry, and salt spray conditions in one cycle.
Flexible Customization: Test chamber volume and configuration can be customized according to your product size and testing needs — whether you need a smaller compact version or a large industrial-grade system.
Safety First: Emergency stop switch for instant shutdown in abnormal situations.
Intelligent Software:
English & Chinese bilingual interface
Real-time data recording & automatic saving
Graph generation for temperature-time and humidity-time
User access control & administrator privileges
Post-test data processing, filtering, and X-Y axis customization
