3C connector. The Type 3 (3A/3C) connectors are generally oval in shape, with circular top and bottom edges and flat right and left edges; the maximum power carried is 24 kW. Type 3C plugs have a mechanical shutter to protect the pins from being touched inadvertently; mechanical shutter protection have since been added as an option for Type 2 connectors.
426:
The Type 3C connector can be provided with a logic-controlled latching system to prevent theft of the cable. In this system, a pin is driven up from below the socket, mating with a matching cutout on the shroud of the plug. This also serves to lock the cover of the socket when not in use, making the

single- and three-phase AC connectors, which come in different diameters according to maximum current, most commonly 16 A and 32 A. The battery management system on the electric vehicle negotiates the maximum current with the electric vehicle supply equipment via dedicated pins in the Type

The connectors contain seven contact places: two small and five larger. The top row consists of two smaller contacts for signalling, the middle two rows each contain two AC power pins, and the bottom row, with one centred pin, is used for

America and Japan, Type 2 in Europe and the rest of the world), the Type 3C connector has been obsoleted and is not commonly encountered. Some home and public AC charging stations are "untethered", meaning they do not have permanently attached cables, so the EV owner is

The Type 3C interface was developed approximately ten years later for the transmission of power at more than 3 kW; the EV Plug
Alliance was formed in March 2010 to promote the use of the Type 3C connector as "a high safety plug and socket solution" in Mode 3 (3–22 kW) AC charging. The EV

Germany. In addition to the AC power contacts and protective earth, there is a single control pilot communication pin in the Type 3A interface, which verifies the continuity of the protective earth circuit. The maximum rated current and voltage are 16 A and 200–250 V,

to design an interface specifically for charging electric vehicles, which led to a system that delivered single-phase AC line voltage through what is now called a Type 3A female socket via an adaptor that plugged into a standard 230 V AC outlet. These were derived from the existing

Communication takes place over the CP/PP signalling pins between the charger, cable, and vehicle to ensure that the highest common denominator of voltage and current is selected. The signalling protocol is identical to that of Type 1 connectors as described in the
