Conversions Tech SAE J1772 Type-1 EV Charging Plug — 16 A, NEMA 5-15P, Industrial-Grade Contacts
The Conversions Tech J1772 Type-1 EV charging plug delivers reliable Level-1 charging for North American EVs and PHEVs. Built around phosphor-bronze power contacts with silver plating, a flame-retardant thermoplastic housing (UL94 V-0 class material), and a rugged strain-relieved cable, this assembly is engineered for safety, longevity, and low insertion loss. LED indicators support quick diagnostics during start-up and charging.
Key Engineering Advantages
- Standards-Compliant: SAE J1772 Type-1 interface for broad compatibility across EV/PHEV models (North America).
- Contact System: Phosphor-bronze pins with silver-plated surfaces for reduced contact resistance and improved thermal performance.
- Dielectric Safety: Insulation resistance > 1000 MΩ @ 500 V DC; withstand voltage up to 2000 V.
- Housing & Cable: Flame-retardant thermoplastic (UL94 V-0 class material) with robust over-mold and strain relief; outdoor-ready jacket.
- User Feedback: Multi-state LED indicator assists with power, charging, and fault conditions.
- Form Factor: Default NEMA 5-15P input plug for Level-1 convenience; typical 21 ft cable reaches most driveways.

Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will this work with my EV?
Yes, if your vehicle uses the SAE J1772 Type-1 inlet (standard on most North American EVs/PHEVs). Tesla vehicles require the common J1772-to-Tesla adapter.
2) Is this Level-1 or Level-2?
With the included NEMA 5-15P (120 V) input, this is a Level-1 solution (16 A max). For Level-2 (220–240 V), you must use the correct receptacle/circuit and a compatible plug/adapter rated for the higher voltage and current.
3) What charge rates should I expect at 120 V, 16 A?
Roughly 1.6–1.9 kW (device and line-voltage dependent). Typical overnight gains are suitable for daily commuting and top-offs.
4) Can I use an extension cord?
Not recommended. If absolutely necessary, use a heavy-gauge outdoor-rated cord sized for 16 A continuous loads and minimize length to reduce voltage drop and heat. Always keep connections dry.
5) What do the LED indicators mean?
Power-on, charging, and fault states are displayed. A fault indication can be caused by poor grounding, over-temperature, or line anomalies. Disconnect and inspect if a fault persists.
6) Is the plug weather-resistant?
The housing and cable are outdoor-capable, but avoid immersion and keep connectors clean/dry. Store indoors when not in use.
7) What materials are used for the contacts and shell?
Contacts are phosphor-bronze with silver plating for low resistance and better thermal margins. The shell is flame-retardant thermoplastic (UL94 V-0 class material).
8) Does it support smart features or Wi-Fi?
No. This is a straightforward, robust charging interface with LED status—no Wi-Fi or app pairing to go wrong.
9) Can I customize cable length?
Yes. Standard lead is ~21 ft. Contact sales@conversionstech.com for custom lengths and connector options.
10) What breakers/outlets should I use?
For Level-1 with NEMA 5-15P, use a properly grounded 15 A branch circuit. For any Level-2 setup, consult a licensed electrician and use the correct 220–240 V receptacle and breaker per local code.
