Spindle wire components

[Richmc]

Hi

Can anyone help here.....I have two broken core wires in my 6040 Spindle cable and need a new one, was thinking of doing it myself but have no idea what the connectors are called that attach to the spindle itself and the little one at the back of the controller. Either that or is there anywhere I can purchase a new one (wire and connectors)

Thanks for any help

Rich

Unsolder the connectors off the current cable, resolder new cable on to them. No need to replace connectors.

But to answer your question they usually use GX16 connectors.

I'm in the UK. Just no markings on the connectors. The GX16 as stated looks like the smaller of the two, just need to sort the larger

They are really easy, specially if you reuse the old ones as the terminals will already be tinned. Just premelt a bit of solder on to each wire and then get them on the plug. Do the back ones first for access.

Get one of these, really good makes soldering really easy. Do these at about 320C.

Seriously you will probably have more difficulty tinning new connectors than you would just recycling the old ones.
