IEC62196-1 EV Charging Connector Coupler Insertion & Withdrawal Force Tester

The EV Charging Plug and Socket Withdrawal Insertion Force Test Equipment SNQC1019S is manufactured to meet IEC62196-1:2014 — Plug, socket-outlets, vehicle couplers and vehicle inlets — Conductive charging of electric vehicles, for conductive EV charging coupler safety certification.

This tester measures insertion force and pull-out force of new energy EV charging plugs, vehicle sockets, plug-socket connectors and their locking devices. It verifies whether the coupling mechanism meets the mechanical performance requirements specified by IEC62196-1, ensuring reliable connection and safe operation of electric vehicle charging couplers.

The machine adopts servo motor drive + PLC intelligent integrated control, paired with a high-precision force sensor to capture real-time force data. You can preset the force peak value; the equipment will auto-stop once reaching the set threshold and record a complete force-time curve for test reports.

• Complies fully with IEC62196-1:2014 standard for EV conductive charging couplers
• Single station design — tests insertion force and withdrawal pull-out force for EV plugs, sockets and locking devices
• Special protective cover fixture available: tests plug pull-out force from protective cover and generates force curve
• Servo motor drive with adjustable test speed: 0.01~100 mm/min
• Test force range: 10~1000 N, load accuracy ±0.5%, custom ranges available
• High precision: minimum load display 0.01 N, minimum displacement display 0.01 mm
• Vertical insertion direction with thickened load-bearing steel test floor
• Over-strength alarm and leakage protection for safe lab operation
• Special fixture for charging gun interface; custom fixtures available for other coupler types

Unlike generic universal force testers, the SNQC1019S is purpose-built for IEC62196-1 EV charging coupler insertion and withdrawal testing. Its dedicated charging gun fixture, vertical test setup and force curve recording function are optimized specifically for EV vehicle coupler certification. The stable servo drive ensures repeatable test results required for third-party lab reports.

The optional protective cover fixture expands testing capability to evaluate the pull-out force between the charging plug and its protective cover, capturing full force curve data — a feature most ordinary force testers cannot support.

Ideal for EV charging connector manufacturers, certification laboratories and quality inspection departments. Test specimens include: EV charging plugs, vehicle socket-outlets, vehicle couplers, vehicle inlets, protective covers and their locking devices — to verify mechanical insertion and withdrawal performance for IEC62196-1 compliance.
