Worst case there is a guy on Ebay selling the cables for a fixed price plus make offer. Until the Yazaki cables became available I was buying them for a $100 offer. The five I have purchased soldered up fine. One of them was the basis for the photos in the first post.camasleaf wrote:If anyone has a connector that melted the pins, but still has the outer case intact, then I would like to buy it. I have the old Blink connector that I cracked the case and broke the locking pin and I would like to fix it. I do not need the cable or pins. Thank you.
My mistake. I was confused about the Quick Charge price. The J1772 handle is $119.GlennD wrote:Worst case there is a guy on Ebay selling the cables for a fixed price plus make offer.

Also Quick Charge Power sells the Dostar J1772 connector for under $100. I would guess that lacking the proper crimp tool you would have to solder the pins.
I just need the case as I cracked it. I have the cable and the pins are crimped already to the cable. I bought a new Leviton cable and connector and fixed the EVSE in the garage, I also have the EVSE upgrade. Now I am just thinking of making a portable 30A EVSE and if I can get the Blink connector outer shell for cheap, then I do not need to buy a new cable.GlennD wrote:My mistake.

Link to Rav4 EV forum about melted Blink / Rema equipmentGlennD wrote:You should be able to find someone with a meltdown. The contact insert is completely separate from the outer shell. You might pm Tony Williams and and what happened to his. I think he was the first one to publicly document the problem. He showed photos of his damaged RAV4 EV and Blink cable.

Properly soldered is clearly better than poorly crimpedTomT wrote:No one is ever always right, and there are often valid differences of opinion... In this case, I also believe that, done properly, soldering fine.
