SAE J1772 Type1 AC EV Charging Connector

Technical Specifications

Type 1 Male Charging Plug | B2B OEM/Wholesale for North American Market

Product Overview

The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol is a male charging connector (the handheld plug) designed to the SAE J1772 Type 1 interface, used as the vehicle-end connector on Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging cables, tethered wallbox leads, and portable EVSE units sold in the North American market. As a J1772 charging gun manufacturer, we produce this Type 1 EV plug with precision-machined contacts, a durable ergonomic housing, and an integrated latch, built to mate reliably with J1772 inlets on vehicles and wallbox sockets. For EV charging gun supplier buyers—including charging cable manufacturers, Level 2 wallbox OEMs, and replacement-parts distributors serving North America—this is a connector component, not a standalone charger.

Standard & Interface Compliance

The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol is designed to the SAE J1772 Type 1 interface, the dominant AC charging connector standard for North America and Japan. It follows the standard Type 1 pin arrangement of two power contacts (L1, N) plus protective earth and control pilot / proximity detection pins, with a keyed housing that prevents mating with non-compliant connectors. As a SAE J1772 plug manufacturer, we produce the gun to the Type 1 dimensional and pinout requirements so it mates correctly with standard J1772 inlets on North American-market vehicles and wallbox sockets. For J1772 connector manufacturer buyers, this standard-compatible design ensures broad interoperability across North American EVs and Level 2 charging infrastructure.

Electrical Ratings

The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol is offered in common AC current ratings covering Level 1 (120V AC) and Level 2 (208V / 240V AC) installations used in North America, with typical gun ratings of 40A and 80A. Contact plating and cross-section are selected per current rating to keep contact resistance stable over repeated mating cycles. As a Type 1 charging gun manufacturer, we recommend that buyers size the gun together with the charging cable, breaker, and vehicle on-board charger as a complete system, rather than selecting the highest rating regardless of the overall circuit. This system-level sizing is particularly important for Level 2 charging plug buyers building tethered wallbox cables or replacement cable assemblies for North American homes and workplaces.

Mechanical & Ergonomic Design

The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol features a heat-resistant engineering-plastic housing with an ergonomic grip, an integrated trigger latch that releases on button press, and a cable strain-relief boot at the cable end. The latch is designed to hold the gun securely in the vehicle inlet during charging and to resist accidental disconnection. As a J1772 male connector manufacturer, we supply the gun either as a bare connector for cable-makers to terminate, or pre-assembled onto a cable in the length specified by the customer. For J1772 replacement gun buyers servicing damaged tethered Level 2 wallbox cables, the gun housing, latch mechanism, and cable-exit geometry are the key mechanical parameters to confirm.

Applications

The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol is used across three main application families: as the vehicle-end connector on tethered Level 2 wallbox cables sold in North America, as the replacement gun for damaged or worn charging cables, and as the handheld plug on portable Level 1 / Level 2 EVSE units. It is also a common spare-parts SKU for North American charging station maintenance teams. As an American standard charging gun supplier, we serve cable manufacturers, Level 2 wallbox OEMs, portable charger brands, and maintenance depots. For Type 1 connector supplier buyers, the product is a connector BOM item—either as a bare gun for cable termination or as a pre-assembled cable-and-gun set.

OEM / Customization & Wholesale

We offer J1772 plug wholesale and private-label services for brands, cable manufacturers, and Level 2 wallbox makers that want to differentiate their North American charging products. The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol supports customization of housing color, logo laser-engraving, cable length (when supplied as a pre-assembled cable), and retail packaging. Our Type 1 charger plug production supports both bare-connector orders for cable-makers and pre-assembled cable-and-gun sets for brands that want a finished product. As a J1772 EV connector manufacturer, we support order quantities from sample cartons for engineering validation to bulk production runs for wallbox and cable OEMs serving the North American market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this the male gun or the female inlet? The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol is the male handheld plug—the part the user holds and inserts into the vehicle or wallbox inlet. It is the counterpart to the J1772 female inlet/socket, which is installed on the vehicle or wallbox. As a J1772 charging gun supplier, we can supply either the male gun, the female inlet, or a complete cable with gun on one end and the appropriate supply plug on the other.

Q: Is this compatible with NACS / Tesla connectors? No. The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol follows the J1772 Type 1 interface, which is a physically different connector from NACS (the Tesla-derived connector). J1772 guns do not plug directly into NACS inlets without an adapter, and vice versa. If your project requires NACS connectors, please specify; our J1772 product line is not interchangeable with NACS.

Q: Does this gun include a complete charging cable? No. The SAE J1772 Typ 1 Amerikansk Standard AC EV Laddpistol is a connector. It can be supplied as a bare gun for cable manufacturers to terminate, or pre-assembled onto a cable of specified length with the appropriate North American supply plug (e.g., NEMA 14-50, 6-20, or wallbox hard-wired). If you need a complete portable EVSE or tethered wallbox cable, please specify the required length and supply plug type when ordering.

Q: What is the lead time for sample and bulk orders? Bare-gun samples typically ship within 7–15 business days. Pre-assembled cable-and-gun sets and bulk orders depend on cable length, quantity, and customization. Contact our J1772 cable gun sales team for a project-specific quote.
