16A 5-pole to Type 3 adapter

Older charging stations across France frequently use Type 3 sockets, a connector format that was standard in the country before the shift to Type 2. The Voldt® 16A 5-Pin CEE to Type 3 Adapter connects a portable charger equipped with a 16A red CEE plug to these stations. Three-phase at 16A, the adapter delivers up to 11 kW, making older French charging points accessible and genuinely useful rather than something you simply drive past.

Type 3 sockets are particularly common in municipal car parks, supermarket charging bays, and workplace installations fitted during the earlier wave of French EV infrastructure rollout. Many of these stations remain fully functional but incompatible with modern charging cables. Carrying this adapter means you can take advantage of them wherever they appear along your route, adding range at locations other EV drivers might overlook entirely.

Voldt®; Powering the Next Century of Driving

With more than 100 years of combined experience in the automotive industry, Voldt® embodies a legacy built on engineering excellence, craftsmanship, and innovation. Our deep heritage gives us a unique understanding of mobility and the evolving needs of electric vehicle drivers. As the world shifts toward cleaner transportation, we apply a century of expertise to create charging solutions that deliver true reliability, long-lasting performance, and a superior user experience.

Voldt® will integrate with your electric vehicle seamlessly.

The Voldt® 16A 5-pin to Type 3 adapter allows you to connect a red 16A 5-pin CEE power source to charging equipment or devices that require a Type 3 connector. It is intended for situations where a three-phase CEE industrial supply is available, but the charging infrastructure or cable uses a Type 3 interface.

What you can connect and when it is useful

This adapter is commonly used for charging electric vehicles at locations where Type 3 connectors are still required, such as private charging points, older installations, or access-controlled charging stations. Typical use cases include parking garages, commercial buildings, fleet locations, and restricted-access sites.

Three-phase compatibility

The adapter supports three-phase operation, ensuring correct electrical compatibility between a 16A CEE supply and a Type 3 connection. This allows safe use without modifying cables or relying on incompatible plug solutions.

The Voldt® 16A 5-pin to Type 3 adapter supports three-phase operation up to 11 kW at 16 A and is suitable for Mode 2 applications. It is designed for use cases where a Type 3 connection is required, but power is supplied via a 16A red CEE industrial outlet.

Electrical performance

The adapter is rated for 16 A at 400 V, delivering a maximum power output of up to 11 kW. This makes it suitable for controlled three-phase charging and portable power applications that require stable and correctly rated electrical connections.

Protection and durability

With an IP67 protection rating, the adapter is resistant to dust and water ingress, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is tested for more than 10,000 connection cycles, ensuring long-term reliability in professional and frequent-use charging environments.

All Voldt® charging cables include a 3-year full warranty and 100 days of hassle-free returns. We stand behind the quality of our European-made products, which are tested to meet the highest standards of safety and durability. Every cable is built to last. If something isn’t right, we’ll make it right: whether that means a quick replacement, repair, or return. It’s our way of ensuring you can charge with complete confidence, every time.
