Electric vehicle charging plug with seals

An electric vehicle charging plug 100 comprises a faceplate 102 and two or more pins or blades 106, 108 comprising at least a live pin, a neutral pin and a ground. A temperature sensor for monitoring an internal temperature of the plug provided in a housing 224 and a data cable 118 conveys temperature data to a physically separate controller. A first seal 112 seals a junction between the at least one pin/blade and the faceplate. A second seal 116 seals both a junction between the at least one pin/blade and a faceplate and an inner-mould 110. A third seal provided by the inner-mold seals the entire interior of the electric vehicle plug. The first seals may be formed by a combination of epoxy, gaskets, sealing oils, sealing greases, and/or cold melt adhesive formed around a pin or between a junction between the pin/blade and a separate ring or cap. The second seal may be formed by the separate ring or cap and upper portions of blades that press the ring or cap onto the first seal. The material of the second seals, the faceplate and the third seals may be chosen from Polypropylene, Polybutylene Terephthalate and Polycarbonate.
