Actuators Increase Safety During Recharge Cycles
In addition to fully integrated charging inlets, TE manufactures and markets a suite of stand-alone actuators that lock the charging station’s connector plug into the inlet, preventing the plug from being removed from the vehicle accidentally or by force during a charging cycle. The actuator is mounted to the inlet and has a locking pin that engages to hold the connector in place as a safety mechanism, ensuring that every charging cycle is conducted reliably and safely.
TE's actuators are fortified to work in harsh automotive environments, conforming to the latest IEC 62196 and GB/T 20234 standards. Available in 12 plug-and-play configurations, they can be used in a variety of electric vehicles – such as scooters, motorcycles, trucks, buses, ferries, and aircraft – to increase safety levels. TE’s actuators are extremely durable and have been tested for up to 80,000 charge cycles.
