Hi Lawrence, Do you come to Silicon Valley often? I have done at least 5 conversions AVCON => pistol and I have always soldered the pins. Make sure you have a soldering iron that can deliver enough heat to work fast enough that the solder does not wick up into the wire too far. Also, I pre-tin the wire separately, then I heat up the pin and fill the pin's cavity about 2/3 full of molten solder, then I insert the pre-tinned wire so all solder flows together and then I let it cool, this avoids prolonged heating of the wire and the wicking problem. The J1772 standard drawing has it all layed out, the switch is supposed to already have a resistor attached and I also liked to reference the conversion pictorial that is shown on I believe Rush's site of a conversion. Then the proof of the pudding is in the eating - measure the voltages on the plug of your car and on the pistol before plugging in the first time. Everything is referenced to ground. In fact, I need to do one more conversion of the DS-100 that I have that I have no pistol for, I only have a cord with attached plug but I will keep that for other projects. So, I would need one more plug. Do you fancy a mini Maker Fair in my garage?

Avcon to J1772 DIY I thought the 90 dollar price of a Male connector was just too much so I bought 5 from China. Doestar. Very nice units. I need to find out how to wire the internal switch. I think it's the proximity. I thought I was so smart that I had star drivers to take it apart but after doing so I found in the connector they have the evil triangle security screws protecting the pins. I guess I'll have to go to harbor freight and buy the 100 security bits for 6 bucks. If there is a video or internet instructions or if someone could just give me a few hints that would be great. One guy soldered the connections. I don't like doing that. Heat is your enemy. Lawrence Rhodes....... I have 4 connectors and would like 75 dollars each. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
