Description
J1772 connector hanger with hood and cable mount hood.
Attaches to wall with four #10 panhead screws. If mounting outside, I recommend using stainless steel or brass to avoid rust.
Inspired by erroneus's design but not really remixed from it. All dimenstions determined by measuring existing j117 cables. This has thick support structure and no inner connection ports. 30 degree hanger. Also reduced the overhang of the final lip to only be 45 degrees off base. Not over 45 degrees.
Printed it. It's working great. I might bevel out the inside to make the plug slide in more fluidly. I'll probably try this with a dremel first. This is not a tight fit, but that's okay, the push button latch does the job of holding plug in place.
The lip is working to hold cable on. I think it might work a bit better if I reduced the downward angle leading to the lip on the hood. The cable hasn't fallen yet, but it feels like in heavy winds it might. There's lots of free space inside of the housing. I might* Remove some of that free space and reduce this downward angle at the same time.
*I have removed this space and uploaded an updated version called j1772hanger_smaller. It has the same wall footprint, so your existing screw holes can be reused. I have also added the requested air hole.
The smaller hanger bracket only has a clearance of 24 millimeters between the inside of the plug house and the underside of the underside of the cord hanger. Please measure your plug to make sure it will fit.
j1772hanger_smaller_rev3 fixes the latch issue on some newer j1772 handles with a wider latch. This also provides a larger lip for the cable, so it doesn't fall off.
