Hi Steve,
There is no downside to replacing your broken J1772 connector with a
higher rated one that the Juicebox currently has (32A or 40A). All
amperage levels of the J1772 connectors and inlets are compatible
physically with each other, it just depends on the wiring of the cord or
max amps
For a low-amperage cable, I'd replace the whole whip. It's unlikely you
have the proper crimper to put a new handle on, and it would suck to try
that and fail, or learn that there are frayed strands in your cable.
One of the most common failures is the cable strands break down internally

Subject: [EVDL] replacing a J1772 connector
the connector on one of our EVSEs (a Juicebox) is broken, so I'm looking for a
replacement. Two questions:
1. I see there are connectors rated for 32, 40, or 50 amps. Is there a
downside
We weren't thinking of replacing the cord, just the connector.
The insulating sleeves on the L1 and L2 pins broke.
It's a second generation juicebox.

Hi Steve,
The only downside to use a higher current than the JuiceBox can supply
is the higher weight and cost of the cord, otherwise everything is the
same - technically a slightly lower loss in that cord, but that is
immaterial. For my info and interest - what broke and which variant of
JuiceBox?
