Possible Causes
Deformed plastic around Type 2 socket, Worn or bent contact sleeves, Foreign objects or dirt inside socket, Misaligned cable lock mechanism
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not force the plug; this can damage contacts and create hot spots. Isolate power before inspecting the socket interior.
- 1. Visual inspection: Examine the socket for melted plastic, misaligned contacts, or debris. Use a flashlight for a clear view.
- 2. Clean socket: Remove loose dirt with a dry, non-metallic brush. Do not use solvents or water.
- 3. Check lock pin alignment: Ensure the cable lock pin retracts fully when unlocked and does not obstruct insertion/removal. Adjust or replace the lock actuator if misaligned.
- 4. Test with another cable: Try a different Type 2 cable to rule out a deformed plug.
- 5. Replace socket: If contacts or housing are visibly damaged or worn, replace the entire Type 2 socket assembly.
