Europe TUV EV Charging Cables

EVC H05BZ5-F and EVC H07BZ5-F are the two EN 50620 charging cables for AC electric vehicle supply equipment, and the number in the designation is the only thing that separates them: H05BZ5-F is the 300/500V type, limited by the standard to 1.5 mm² and 2.5 mm² three-core constructions and to mode 1 charging, while H07BZ5-F is the 450/750V type that carries three, four or five power cores from 1.5 mm² up to 35 mm² for mode 2 and mode 3 charging. Both use halogen-free cross-linked EVI-2 insulation over class 5 flexible copper, a halogen-free EVM-1 polyurethane sheath, and one or two 0.5 mm² or 1.0 mm² control and pilot cores for the charging handshake. Both are TUV certified to EN 50620 and IEC 62893, run at 90°C conductor temperature with a 250°C short-circuit rating, and stay flexible down to -40°C fixed and -35°C in handling, which is what a lead that is coiled, dropped and dragged across a forecourt has to survive.
