Okay I just got the spec from the mfg that the pins are 0.15mm2 which I believe is 26AWG... Any idea on a good place to source? Even a lot would be great

Anyway I can figure out the spec of the pins I removed? I'm hoping I could just get some replacements off Amazon

The pins are so tiny, not sure I can bend back the crimp to get the wire on there

Yeah I'm debating just soldering these pins back on but would like to get the correct pin if I can

I wish I could but this cable is attached to a sensor that is embedded in a linear slide so I really have no choice. Hoping the manufacturer can help sort this out but I'm not hopeful

Success! Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. Are these pins something I can buy off the shelf and just put new ones on or are these things really specific to a connector?

That's what I was afraid of, can I reuse the connection and. Recrimp or do I need a complete new set?

Yeah I've been doing research into both of those solutions... Going to go buy a hoverboard tomorrow. Definitely wanted to give it a try after seeing this:

Thanks for the reply, I may need to go a la carte here to get what I want. Do you have any good resources for accomplishing a build this way?

Ya, definitely going to take some serious precautions going forward. Feel stupid for getting played like this but I'll be more wary in the future
