This is a J1772 power cord connector configured for Type 1 EV Supply Equipment (EVSE). This kit includes a 32 Amp J1772 handle with latch and female power terminals. It does not include the power cable. Variations may differ from image shown.
J1772 is a worldwide standard for communication between vehicles and EVSEs. Type 1 EVSEs are typically found in North America, and Type 2 EVSEs are often the standard in all other regions.
J1772 Charging Handle Instructions
Installation requires the following:
- Torx T15 driver bit
- Torx T10 driver bit
- Crimping tool for pins
- Soldering iron and solder
We recommend crimping and also soldering if you do not have a quality crimping tool for these pins. There are seals on the pins so be careful not to overheat them when soldering.
See the following Youtube video for a description of the assembly process. There is some info you may not need, but the video handles important details.
Watch: EVSE Level 1 J1772 Plug Replacement
Note that the wire colors mentioned may not match other systems. When replacing a handle, wire locations should be labeled before cutting off the old pins, because wires must connect to new pins in the original positioins.
Latch Switch Wires: The black wire connects to PE (ground), and the white wire connects to the PP (proximity) pin. The video above provides information and diagrams covering this.
