Withdrawal Force Test Apparatus For EV Charging Connector | 0.8kg Drop Insertion Tester IEC62196

Designed in accordance with IEC 62196‑3:2026 Clause 16.16, this withdrawal force tester is specially applied to verify insertion force of EV charging interfaces. It checks whether the maximum plug-in force between charging gun and vehicle inlet complies with standard requirements: fix the charging gun vertically, load standard main weight on it, then let a 0.8kg weight free fall from 5cm height to impact the main weight, and the charging gun shall be fully inserted into the inlet to specified contact position after impact.

Test station	Single station
Control method	Manual, instrument displays force data in real time
Lifting method	Manual
Additional weight drop method	Manual
Force value monitoring	Pulse pressure sensor + instrument display
Weight configuration	Main weight of AC charging gun: 9.2kg Main weight of DC charging gun: 13.2kg Additional weight: 0.8kg Note: The weight of the main weight includes the weight of the clamp, guide rod, steel ball basin and charging gun sample. The weight of the main weight excluding the sample is about 4kg. In addition, 10kg steel balls are configured for fine-tuning the weight so that the weight of the entire main weight meets the insertion force requirements of AC or DC guns.
Additional weight drop height	5cm
Insert initial positioning	Precision slide and long linear guide bearing positioning.
Charging gun fixture	Clamping handle, adjustable direction, so that the gun head is vertically downward.

The 0.8kg weight free falling from 5cm is defined by IEC 62196‑3:2026 Clause 16.16 for EV charging inlet insertion impact inspection, and SNQC1013A is the dedicated tester to implement this standard test. The falling weight simulates the inertia impact when users plug in charging guns, verifying whether the charging gun can lock into full contact position after impact. Omitting this standardized drop test will bring uneven plug-in resistance, bad contact and thermal risks during charging, causing certification failure and after-sales safety problems, so SNQC1013A is indispensable quality control equipment to verify charging inlet insertion property.
