Electric vehicle supply equipment and power cord

Electric vehicle supply equipment, comprising:

• a power cord configured to be disconnected from and reconnected to the electric vehicle supply equipment;
• a printed circuit board assembly disposed within a plug of the power cord having an electronic controller configured to transmit data regarding a connector blade configuration of the plug;
• and
• a printed circuit board assembly housing enclosing the printed circuit board assembly, wherein the printed circuit board assembly housing is disposed within a plug housing of the plug, wherein the printed circuit board assembly further includes an electronic temperature sensor in communication with the electronic controller and located proximate to a connector blade of the plug and wherein the electronic controller is configured to output temperature data of the connector blade based on a signal provided by the electronic temperature sensor and wherein the printed circuit board assembly housing defines locating features in the form of ridges or grooves that cooperate with corresponding features in the form of grooves or ridges in the plug housing to positively locate the electronic temperature sensor in relation to the connector blades of the electrical plug.
