The EV Charging Gun Electronic Lock Tester features a precision servo-driven force application mechanism equipped with high-accuracy load cells and linear displacement sensors, enabling controlled axial thrust or tension on the locking lever with excellent repeatability. It simulates real-world vehicle coupling scenarios with programmable pull-force vectors, accurately replicating the mechanical stress experienced during actual charging gun insertion and removal.
Mitsubishi PLC intelligent control combined with a 7-inch color HMI allows flexible programming of test sequences, automatic polarity switching, and real-time signal feedback for lock/unlock status. The system is equipped with multi-standard interchangeable fixtures compatible with GB, EU (Type 2), and US charging interfaces, built-in signal feedback detection, and comprehensive safety protections including grounding, short-circuit, and overload safeguards. The robust mechanical frame with anti-vibration foot pads ensures superior stability during extended high-cycle durability testing, delivering laboratory-grade precision and long-term reliability.
Testing Principle
The tester applies programmable mechanical force to the electronic locking lever of the charging gun connector while supplying an adjustable load current (1โ200 mA). It executes repeated lock/unlock cycles according to preset parameters, continuously monitors force, displacement, current and status feedback signals, and automatically records the number of successful operations until the preset cycle count is reached or a failure occurs. Dedicated manual emergency unlocking tests are also supported to verify the locking deviceโs safety performance under simulated fault conditions, thereby comprehensively assessing mechanical endurance, electrical integrity and functional reliability as required by the standards.

Common Error Mitigation
To achieve the highest measurement repeatability and data integrity:
- Always verify precise axial alignment of the force application device with the locking lever using calibration tools before each test sequence.
- Confirm secure clamping and fixture compatibility with the specific connector type to avoid eccentric loading.
- Utilize real-time signal feedback monitoring to validate lock/unlock status at every cycle.
- Maintain stable environmental conditions and allow sufficient stabilization time between operations.
- Perform regular calibration of force sensors, displacement transducers, and current output circuits to prevent measurement drift.
Primary Use Cases & Business Value
The EV Charging Gun Electronic Lock Tester IEC 62196-1 serves as a critical validation platform for EV charging system manufacturers and certification laboratories. It enables thorough assessment of electronic lock durability under repeated mechanical and electrical stress, early identification of design weaknesses, and confirmation that locking mechanisms meet stringent safety and performance requirements. This directly contributes to enhanced product reliability, reduced risk of field failures, smoother regulatory approval, and improved overall safety of EV charging infrastructure.
