AC Charging Gun OEM RFQ Checklist for Faster, Cleaner Quotes
An AC charging gun RFQ should describe the complete charging path, not only the connector name. Suppliers need the connector role, input system, cable length, termination, market, quantity and approval evidence.
Start with the charging path
Write the route plainly: wall box or supply → cable/charging gun → vehicle inlet. State whether the product is a vehicle-side plug, equipment-side socket, complete cable assembly or replacement part. Add J1772, Type 2, NACS or another specified interface.
RFQ fields to include
| Field | Supplier confirmation |
|---|---|
| Connector role | Vehicle side, charger side, socket or complete cable |
| Electrical scope | Voltage, phase, current and charging mode |
| Cable build | Length, conductor, jacket, temperature and flexibility |
| Termination | Moulded, open-end, plug or custom equipment interface |
| Validation | Drawing, sample, inspection photos and test records |
| Commercial scope | Quantity, sample timing, market and delivery term |
Do not leave “standard cable” or “same as sample” as the only specification. Link every sample, drawing, photo and quote to a model and revision.
Before approval
Review connector role, dimensions, cable entry, markings, strain relief, accessories and packing against the approved brief. For a new termination, request a drawing and clear end-view photos before production. Photos identify the model but do not replace electrical, mechanical or vehicle-level validation.
FAQ
Is the connector name enough for a quote?
No. State connector role, electrical scope, cable build and termination.
Should an OEM buyer request a sample?
For a new model or custom termination, yes. Use the sample with the drawing and agreed inspection points.
Review charging cable products, read the termination photo check, or send an RFQ.
