AC Charging Gun Cable Termination Photo Check for OEM Buyers
OEM buyers should request connector-end and termination photos before integrating an AC charging gun cable. The photo set should identify the equipment role, model/revision, cable entry, visible markings, accessories and packing reference. Photos support incoming identification; they do not replace a drawing, sample or model-specific confirmation of electrical and mechanical requirements.
Why is the cable end a sourcing risk?
Two cables can share a connector family while differing in equipment role, termination, cable length or integration details. A single full-product photo may hide the field that matters to assembly. Clear end views reduce ambiguity before samples arrive.
What should each photo set contain?
| Photo or record | Check |
|---|---|
| Full cable | Overall identity and length reference |
| Connector-end view | Equipment role and visible markings |
| Termination/end-entry view | Integration interface and routing |
| Label/model view | Model and revision control |
| Packing/accessory view | Order-set completeness |
Name files with the model and revision. Keep public listing images separate from internal inspection photos when a marking or background is not suitable for publication.
How should photos be used at receipt?
Compare the lot with the approved photo set, drawing and sample. Check connector role, cable entry, visible construction, labels and included items. Hold the lot when the end view or model identity differs; do not accept a visually similar substitute without review.
Southwind can coordinate J1772, NACS, Type 2 and GB/T cable discussions through one supplier contact. Exact termination, specifications, accessories, availability and delivery are confirmed for the selected model and order.
What should the RFQ request?
Send connector family, equipment-side role, termination requirement, target market, quantity tier, branding and accessories. Request model/revision photos, drawing references, sample plan and unresolved fields.
Review cable products, read the AC gun cable selection guide, or request a termination photo pack.
FAQ
Can a full cable photo verify termination?
Usually not. Request a clear end-entry or termination view and the controlled model record.
Are photos enough to approve production?
No. Use photos with the drawing, sample and agreed model checks.
When should photos be updated?
When the connector, cable entry, label, termination, accessory or revision changes.
