I'm not sure I'm an expert on the circuit, but I do sell the J1772 Plugs and
Inlets and actually helped the factory I buy mine from to implement the
Proximity circuit in the Plugs that they manufacture and I sell.

With the switch, in its' normal position, unpressed, you should read
150ohms. When it is pressed, to release the catch and also send a signal to
the onboard charger to stop charging, it should read 480 ohms.

Some of the confusion arises from the switch itself, it can be configured to
be either NO or NC in its' unpressed state. For this application it should
be NO in its' unpressed state.
