Thread adapter

An electric vehicle charging system for charging an electric vehicle (EV), the electric vehicle charging system comprising:

• a connector and a charging cable;
• and
• an EV charger coupled to a power source and the charging cable, the EV charger including a housing, a user input device that is disposed on a first surface of the housing and structured to receive user data, and a data port that is disposed on a second surface of the housing, the data port including first male threads and coupled to communication lines via a conduit for routing cables, the conduit including a conduit fitting having second male threads, wherein the data port is coupled to the conduit via a thread adapter that includes:
• a frame having a first end, a second end, and a thru-hole extending longitudinally from the first end to the second end, the frame further comprising:
• first female threads extending longitudinally inwardly from the first end, the first female threads structured to engage with the first male threads of the data port;
• and
• second female threads extending longitudinally inwardly from the second end, the second female threads structured to engage with the second male threads of the conduit fitting,
• wherein the first female threads engage with the first male threads of the data port, and the second female threads engage with the second male threads of the conduit fitting,
• wherein the first female threads are a different female thread type than the second female threads and the first male threads are a different male thread type than the second male threads;
• and
• wherein user data received from the user input device are transmitted to at least one of a server or a workstation via the data port, the cables disposed within the conduit, and the communication lines.
