If it is a standard J1772 connector/cable, you can find replacement
parts (the J1772 gun with or without the cable) easily online.
The trick is getting a "good quality" one (UL listed, known
manufacturer, etc...) which will cost significantly more than a
"generic" one. [WAG on the price of a "good" J1772 gun: $100-200]
There are 3 larger power wires (Hot/Hot/Ground) and 2 smaller data
cables that need to be connected (either on the gun end, or if you also
replace the cable, at the CS-40 end.
Replacing the gun at the end of the existing cable would probably be
easier than replacing the cable inside the clipper creek unit, depending
upon how easy it is to open up the CS-40 unit.
Although the replacement isn't difficult, a "regular" electrician may
not have done it before, so if you can find somebody who specializes in
EVSE installations that may help. [Even so, they typically install
entire units, instead of replacing parts, so specify what you are
looking for. If they do replacements often, they may also sell you the
J1772 gun they install as part of the quote.]
It's not a difficult replacement, but hiring somebody else to do it is
going to add significantly to the cost (WAG: $100 truck roll fee + 50 to
do the swap out?).
So I'd estimate you are looking at $250-350 to hire a "professional" to
do it with parts & labor....which is getting up in price to close to the
cost of a new EVSE. [Assuming it is not hard wired, you can just plug in
replace a new EVSE....but if it IS hard wired, it sounds like you'd be
hiring an electrician to swap out the whole unit.]

Hi,
I have some responsibility for helping to administer a public L2 station
project in my community. The station is an old non-networked Clipper
Creek CS-40. It appears that the only problem is that the connector has
worn out and does not consistently result in the vehicle charging.
Clipper Creek / Enphase tell me they don't make that part any more. Does
anyone have recommendations as to where a UL-listed replacement part
could be bought, and what would be the pros/cons of having this
installed on the existing CS-40, as against replacing the entire unit? I
am very much not a DIY person, and there is zero chance I would be doing
the installation work.
