Cable Helos IEC 62196 Type 2 M to Type 2 W 32A 7.5m, 3-phase 22 kW, Mode 3

The Helos IEC 62196 Type 2 M to Type 2 W charging cable is a 7.5 m Mode 3 cable designed for three-phase AC charging of electric vehicles with a Type 2 inlet. Rated for 32 A and up to 22 kW charging power at 415 V AC, the cable supports the IEC 61851 charging protocol and is built with IP66 protection and mechanical resilience for occasional drive‑over situations. It is intended for use where a 3‑phase 32 A supply is available, such as home installations with appropriate circuit provision or public AC charging points.

Advantages

The cable provides stable three‑phase charging capability up to 22 kW and a 7.5 m length that offers flexible parking and connector reach. IP66 protection gives resistance against dust and heavy spray, and the construction includes features to withstand temporary drive‑over loads, increasing durability in mixed-use environments. Compliance with IEC 62196 and IEC 61851 ensures compatibility with vehicles and charging stations that follow these standards.

Suitable for

• Home charging where a 3‑phase 32 A circuit is installed
• Public or semi-public AC charging points that accept Type 2 connections
• Workplace charging with access to three‑phase supply
• Situations requiring a longer cable run (7.5 m) between vehicle and socket

When it may not be suitable

The cable is not suitable for DC fast charging or for vehicles that require a different connector standard than Type 2. It will not provide higher-than-rated current or power; if the supply or vehicle supports only single‑phase or lower current, charging speed will be limited accordingly. For continuous heavy mechanical loads beyond occasional drive‑over, a permanently installed or purpose‑built cable channel may be required.

Key specifications

• Maximum power: up to 22 kW at 415 V AC
• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Charging mode and protocol: Mode 3, IEC 61851
• Ingress protection: IP66
• Color: black

How to use

Before connecting, ensure the charging point and vehicle inlet are compatible with Type 2 connectors and that the supply provides three‑phase 32 A at 415 V AC. Park the vehicle securely and turn off the charging station if required by the station instructions. Insert the Type 2 male plug into the vehicle inlet and the Type 2 female end into the charging point or socket. Follow the vehicle and charging station prompts to initiate charging using the Mode 3 protocol. After charging is complete, stop the session via the charging station or vehicle interface, disconnect the cable by unlocking any locking mechanism, and coil the cable for storage. Avoid exposing the connectors to heavy dirt or standing water when unplugged.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm your vehicle has a Type 2 inlet and supports Mode 3 AC charging
• Verify availability of a 3‑phase 32 A (415 V AC) supply at your charging location
• Check the required cable length and whether 7.5 m is sufficient for parking position
• Consider installation or protective measures if the cable will be exposed to frequent mechanical stress or traffic

Usage recommendations

Use the Helos 7.5 m Type 2 to Type 2 cable for regular AC charging sessions where three‑phase 32 A supply is available, ensuring connectors are clean and dry before each use and storing the cable in a covered location to extend service life.
