Mounting the SAE J1772 Connector Holster
The SAE J1772 connector holster is included to provide a convenient protective housing for the SAE J1772 connector head
when it is not in use.
•
The SAE J1772 connector holster should be placed so that users have easy and safe access to the SAE J1772
connector.
•
For indoor installation, mount the SAE J1772 connector holster between 18" (45.7 cm) and 48" (122 cm) above
the ground or grade.
•
For outdoor installation, mount the SAE J1772 connector holster between 24" (61 cm) and 48" (122 cm) above
the ground or grade.
•
The SAE J1772 connector holster has two vertically aligned mounting holes spaced 5.45" (13.8 cm) apart, one
each on the enclosure top and bottom. Use a ruler or template to mark hole locations on the mounting surface.
•
The vertical alignment of the HCS and SAE J1772 connector holster mounting holes allows for the convenient
mounting of both components onto the same post or wall structure. For example, the holster may be mounted
directly above the EVSE.
•
Place the SAE J1772 connector holster such that both mounting holes can take advantage of solid structural
framing inside of the wall or a strong wall surface such as plywood.
•
A set of exterior wood screws and stainless steel washers are included for the purposes of mounting the
SAE J1772 connector holster to a wooden surface.
•
For mounting to a solid surface such as concrete, brick, or stone, alternate hardware may need to be procured.
Examples of solid-wall mounting hardware include multi-sets, wedge anchors, and sleeve anchors. Use the type
of mounting hardware most appropriate for the supporting structure.
