Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Products

The Delphi Charge Inlets comply with SAE J1772, an industry-standard vehicle interface for convenient charging of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV). Delphi's inlets were designed to support Level 1 and Level 2 charging. The Delphi Charge Inlets are recognized under the Component Recognition Program of Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Two options of the Delphi Charge Inlets are available:

• With hinged integral cover for splash protection to protect the receptacle
• Without cover for use in applications with an OEM-provided cover

Benefits

• Compliant to SAE J1772 standard interface to allow mating to Delphi's Portable Electric Vehicle Charger and systems used in the charging infrastructure
• Inlet available in two configurations:
• Without cover
• OEM to provide cover in vehicle applications
• With latching cover
• Hinged cover provides protection from elements such as splash to allow for placement in locations such as the bumper
• Damper provides a smooth open feature for the door
• Inlet is symmetrical to allow the cover to open in a left or right orientation
• Compression limiters for over torque protection at assembly plant 
• Rubber boot attached to rear of inlet to provide harness protection
• Drain holes optimized to help eliminate water that may collect in terminal cavities
• Terminal crimps are isolated and sealed to protect the inlet from harsh environments
• Power terminals protect against arcing during a hot disconnect by integrating plastic tips in the terminal design
