UMC Charger Repair / Upgrade

Tesla Roadster โ€” UMC (MC240) Charge Cable Service & Upgrade

The original Universal Mobile Connector UMC / MC240 is a major step up from the 120 VAC, 15 A yellow cableโ€”supporting up to 40 A charging from split-phase 240/208 VAC outlets for much faster turnaround.

Typical wear & failures we see

  • Heat at plugs/receptacles: aging or loosened terminations char connectors under 40 A load.
  • Stranded conductor creep: micro-looseness raises resistance โ†’ heat โ†’ early failure.
  • Roadster charge head issues: durable but serviceable; intermittent contact can usually be repaired.
  • Potted contactor module: mid-cable electronics are sealed and not field-repairable.

Service options


Gruber lab engineer servicing a plug

1
Connector repair / replacement

When the issue is confined to plugs, receptacles, or the Roadster charge head, we replace the affected parts and pre-tin all stranded conductor terminations inside the plug/sockets for a tighter, longer-lasting connection.

2
Contactor module replacement (upgrade path)


Tesla Level 2 NACS charge cable

If the sealed mid-cable contactor/electronics have failed, we retrofit a brand new Tesla-branded Level 2 NACS charge cable that delivers the same 40 A charge rate replacing the failed old UMC 240 Charge Cable with updated electronics.

Our engineers replace the NACS charge plug, with the original Roadster proprietary and out of production Type 1 Roadster Charge plug, to the brand new Level 2 NACS 240 VAC charging cable, replicating the best of new and old technology. To protect collector value and maintain OEM integrity, we use only authentic Tesla branded Level 2 cablesโ€”not aftermarket substitutes.

Collector-minded approach: Where possible we retain original look/feel and choose Tesla-branded components to preserve authenticity and long-term value.
