DEFA eConnect Type 2 Electric Vehicle Charging Cable 22 kW 5 m

The DEFA eConnect Type 2 Electric Vehicle Charging Cable 22 kW 5 m is a Mode 3 Type 2 charging cable designed for three-phase charging of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids with a Type 2 inlet. It supports up to 22 kW (32 A) at 480 V and has a 5 m length and lightweight construction for easier handling. The cable is engineered to remain flexible in cold conditions, resist moisture and heat, and include a retractable smart cap to protect the connector from water and dirt.

Advantages

This eConnect cable remains soft and flexible even in severe cold, making it easier to coil, store and handle at low temperatures. The cable is lightweight and features ergonomic plugs with different grip angles tailored to the heights of wall-mounted chargers and vehicle inlets. Robust construction and terminals deliver long-term durability against moisture and heat. The Type 2 connector has a retractable cap that hangs upside down during charging to avoid collecting water or dirt and to prevent contact with the vehicle. The design uses resin-free plugs to allow component separation and recycling, reducing environmental impact.

Suitable for

• Charging electric vehicles and PHEVs with a Type 2 inlet
• Three-phase AC charging up to 22 kW (32 A)
• Home, workplace or public charging points with Type 2 sockets
• Cold Nordic climates where cable flexibility at low temperature is important

How to use

Uncoil the 5 m cable and connect the Type 2 plug to the vehicle inlet until it clicks. Connect the other Type 2 plug to the charging point socket. Verify that the charging station recognizes the connection and charging begins. During charging the retractable cap will hang away from the connector to avoid contamination; when charging is finished, disconnect the cable first from the charging point and then from the vehicle, replace the cap over the connector and coil the cable for storage. Use the supplied velcro strap or an optional bag or docking station for transport and theft protection.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled and protected from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use. For best long-term performance, rinse off heavy dirt and let the connector dry before storage. Use only compatible Type 2 charging points and follow vehicle manufacturer instructions for charging.
