    What Is SAE J1772? (American Standard AC Charging Plug)


    SAE J1772 standard is a charging interface standard for electric vehicles developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), widely used for electric vehicle charging in North America. This standard specifies the size, shape, electrical characteristics, and safety requirements of AC charging interfaces to ensure that electric vehicles of different brands and models can use unified charging equipment for charging. The SAE J1772 charging interface has multiple contact points and a locking mechanism to prevent the interface from accidentally falling off during the charging process, ensuring the safety and reliability of the charging process.
