dust cap for FCSP cable

[davehu]

My FCSP is outside but under cover in our car port. I'm trying to find a dust cap to cover the plug to keep out bugs and dust. Have searched online with no luck. Has anyone seen anything like that, or have an idea that would work better than the plastic bag and rubber band I'm using now.

Search "EV charger nozzle holster dock" and see if that will work for you.

It's not quite this simple because all you're gonna get are J1772 holsters, not CCS holsters, which the FCSP needs. I have been looking for a CCS holster to clip the charging wand to inside my garage when not in use (using the FCSP to holster won't be convenient for me)

I’ve seen that one. No mention of how well it would keep dust or the elements out when used outside.

I don't want to mount it on the wall. I just want a dust cap.

Don't mount it?

Carefully wrap the head in plastic wrap and dip it in Plasti dip or flex seal? Once it sets, remove the plastic wrap

Are you looking for something that will plug the holes and still be able to put it in the FCSP mount? Or do you just wrap and lay it loose? How are you storing the handle?

Honestly that low tech solution is pretty good. You can always have somebody 3D print you one

I would just mount a holster on a standoff so it's 90 degrees to the wall.

Sealing it off with a rubber cap will allow moisture to build up also.

PSA: Always check the plug for foreign debris and bugs before plugging in at home, on the road, everytime. This summer, the earwigs loved hiding in my plug when it was holstered in the fcsp. I found that tapping it while holding it vertical shook them out.

Randall, thanks for the idea. My friend came through. Just what I was looking for and didn't cost me a cent.
