AC connector - Type 1 • Single phase AC L1 L2/N Image courtesy: Phoenix contact (www.phoenixcontact.com) • Two AC pins, one earth, two signal pins Control Pilot • Voltage and current ratings: Voltage 120V or 240V; Proximity Protective Current up to 80A; Pilot Earth • J1772 connector

AC connector - Type 2 Protective Earth • Both single and three phase Proximity Control Pilot AC charging Pilot Image courtesy: Phoenix contact (www.phoenixcontact.com) • Two signal pins, five power pins; • Voltage and current ratings: L1 L2 1 phase 230V, up to 80A; Neutral L3 3 phase 400V, up to 63A;
