Type 3 Connector
The IEC 62196 Type 3 connector (often referred to as Scame for the company that designed it) is used for charging battery electric vehicles, mainly within France and Italy, as it was one of three AC plug standards described in IEC 62196-2. The Type 3 connector comes in two physical formats, Type 3A for single-phase electric power, single-phase (230V) and Type 3C for single- and three-phase electric power, three-phase (400V) alternating current (AC) power. Both have since been superseded in Europe by the Type 2 connector (aka Mennekes), which was more popular in Germany and the UK. The SAE J1772, Type 1 connector (aka Yazaki) is the corresponding AC connector standard used in North America, Japan, and South Korea. Type 3A and 3C connectors are derived from the popular industrial blue IEC 60309 single- and three-phase AC connectors, which come in different diameters according to maximum current, most commonly 16 A and 32 A.
