114-94438 REV C1 SCOPE 1.1. Content This specification describes the handling and assembly of the vehicle charge inlets CCS I acc. IEC 62196-3 for conductive charging of electric vehicles. This specification applies to manual assembly of the components from series production tooling, for the standard version. 1.2.
114-94438 REV C1 WIRES The following designations are used in this specification. The illustrations are exemplary and schematically. 3.1. Assessment of the wires To ensure the required electrical crimp contactability the permissible maximum storage period of 8 months for unprocessed cable (referring to cable manufacturer production date) must be respected. 3.2.
114-94438 REV C1 REQUIREMENTS ON THE CRIMPED CONTACT 5.1. Terms of pin contact Figure 1 5.2. Conductor position The single strands of the conductor are clamped in the wire barrel (drill hole at crimp area). Sticking out or on top crimped single strands are not permitted. The wire end must be visible at the inspection hole before and after crimping.
114-94438 REV C1 Measuring plane Figure 2 Crimp Die Sets are subject to wear and their condition and quality have to be monitored. Suspect and/or worn Die Sets have not to be used for the production of these crimps. Die Sets are available as spare parts.

114-94438 REV C1 Contacts of wire diameter 16 mm² and 50mm² have to be crimped with crimping tool position at end of crimp area as shown. Figure 4 9 of 36...
114-94438 REV C1 5.5. Cross sections When creating cross sections, the correct grinding layer must be selected. The Grinding layer has to be at middle of crimp area and may not be inside of serration. Figure 5 5.6. Contact area During processing and following processing, the contact area may not be damaged or bended.
114-94438 REV C1 For 50 mm² meeting the specific shape and position tolerances shown at figure 7 must be ensured before the contact is inserted into the housing. Figure 7 Measuring the shape and position deviation is not always necessary. If the contact is obviously straight by eye a simplified shape and position functional test, at diameter 6mm², can be performed by inserting it into a suitable housing cavity (crimp may not scrape the walls of secondary lock).

114-94438 REV C1 Alternative to prepar cable according step 2 figure 15, is it also possible to prepare cable similar figure 16. In this case it is necessary to protect complete overlapping shield braid with tape (e.g. Certoplast 9mm). A marking on outer isolation in a distance “E” (or in an offset to “E”) to the cut off position is recommended to ensure the proper position of the outer isolation in the FAMILY SEAL AC [POS.7].
