SAE Worldwide has printed a brand new commonplace, SAE J3400/2—Connectors and Inlets for the North American Charging System (NACS) for Electrical Automobiles. Developed by SAE’s Hybrid-EV Committee, the brand new commonplace defines the bodily architectural and mechanical specs of the EV connector and inlet. SAE J3400/2 standardizes the bodily structure of EV connectors and inlets utilizing 2D mechanical drawings and 3D modeling. This provides OEM and charging tools engineers the specs wanted to develop interoperable {hardware}.
“The publication of SAE J3400/2 as an SAE Worldwide commonplace represents our confidence within the maturity of the 1,000-volt-capable NACS coupler for dependable and secure bidirectional energy switch,” mentioned Dr. Rodney McGee, Chairman of the SAE J3400 NACS Process Pressure. “Throughout our open-to-the-public conferences, our group will proceed to guide the event of industry-led automobile requirements.”
“By standardizing these mechanical particulars, J3400/2 permits producers to design and deploy EV charging infrastructure extra quickly,” mentioned Christian Thiele, Sr. Director, World Floor Automobile Requirements, SAE Worldwide. “The broader J3400 commonplace additionally ensures system-level consistency, masking communications, AC/DC energy supply, cybersecurity and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities.”
