GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket

Technical Specifications

Chinese Standard On-Board Charging Receptacle | B2B OEM/Wholesale Supply

Product Overview

The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket is a vehicle-side AC charging inlet designed to the Chinese national standard (GB/T 20234 series) interface, installed on electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids sold in the Chinese domestic market. As a specialized EV inlet manufacturer China, we produce this GB/T charging inlet with standard power contacts, a durable housing, and integrated signal pins, built to mate reliably with Chinese-standard AC charging plugs and portable chargers. For GB/T connector manufacturer customers—including Chinese domestic EV OEMs, new energy vehicle integrators, and retrofit kit builders—this is a standardized vehicle-component, not a standalone charging station.

Standard Reference

The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket is designed to the GB/T 20234 series interface used for AC charging in China, with the standard configuration of power contacts and control signal pins defined for the Chinese market. The inlet is keyed to the Chinese-standard housing shape, so it mates only with plugs conforming to the same GB/T interface. As a Chinese standard EV connector supplier, we produce the receptacle to the GB/T dimensional and pinout requirements, helping domestic EV makers and retrofit builders avoid compatibility mismatches. For GB/T 20234 socket buyers serving the Chinese market, this standard-compatible design simplifies vehicle integration and downstream charging infrastructure compatibility.

Electrical Ratings

The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket is offered in common AC current ratings up to 32A, covering single-phase and three-phase AC charging configurations typical of Chinese domestic EVs. Contact materials and cross-section are selected per current rating to keep contact resistance stable over repeated mating cycles. As a GB/T AC inlet manufacturer, we recommend that buyers size the inlet together with the on-board charger, vehicle wiring harness, and external charging cable as a complete system, rather than selecting a rating in isolation. This system-level approach is important for vehicle charging socket GB/T programs where the inlet is part of a safety-rated vehicle circuit.

Mechanical Design

The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket features a heat-resistant engineering-plastic housing with an integrated spring-loaded protective cap, a vehicle-side mounting flange, and a cable-exit orientation designed for typical B-pillar or rear-fender installation positions on passenger vehicles. The internal contact carrier isolates power pins from signal pins, and the housing is engineered for the vibration, temperature, and moisture environment of under-body vehicle installation. As an on-board charging socket manufacturer, we supply the inlet with standard mounting hardware and optional pigtail lengths. For domestic EV inlet buyers, flange geometry, cap operation, and cable exit direction are the key mechanical parameters to confirm during vehicle integration.

Applications

The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket is primarily used as a vehicle-side AC inlet on battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles manufactured for the Chinese domestic market. It is also supplied to Chinese EV exporters and CKD/SKD program builders who need the same GB/T interface for vehicles assembled or sold in overseas markets that have adopted Chinese charging standards. As a Chinese market EV inlet supplier, we support EV OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, retrofit kit manufacturers, and maintenance depots that need replacement inlets for the Chinese-standard EV fleet. For GB/T receptacle buyers, the product is positioned as a vehicle-component BOM item, not a field-installable wallbox accessory.

OEM / Customization & Batch Supply

We offer GB/T charging inlet customization for customers who require tailored housing geometry, pigtail length, connector orientation, or harness integration into specific vehicle models. The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket can be supplied as a bare receptacle, a pigtail with flying leads, or a pre-terminated harness matching a specific vehicle platform. Our EV charging inlet supplier China production supports both sample quantities for vehicle development programs and batch quantities for mass production. As a component-level supplier, we provide dimensional drawings, pinout documentation, and incoming-inspection reports so buyer engineering teams can integrate the part into their vehicle BOM efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this inlet used on the vehicle or on a wallbox? The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket is specifically the vehicle-side inlet, designed to be installed on the EV itself. It is not a wallbox socket outlet. If your project requires a wallbox-side GB/T socket, please specify so we can confirm the appropriate variant. As a GB/T connector manufacturer, we can advise on both configurations.

Q: Does this inlet include charging electronics? No. The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket is a passive connector receptacle. It carries power and signal contacts but contains no on-board charger, control board, or protection circuitry. Those functions are part of the vehicle’s charging system.

Q: Which vehicles is this compatible with? The GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket follows the Chinese national standard interface, so it mates with GB/T-standard AC charging plugs and portable chargers used in the Chinese domestic market. It is not compatible with Type 2 (IEC 62196-2) or Type 1 (SAE J1772) connectors without an adapter.

Q: Do you supply pre-wired pigtails? Yes. Beyond the bare receptacle, we can supply the GB/T Standard AC Electric Vehicle In-Vehicle Charging Socket with flying leads or a pre-terminated harness to match a specific vehicle platform. Contact our sales team for harness drawings and minimum order quantities.
