Re: bally 6 digit display connector rebuild

I'd avoid using trifurcon style for the displays, as there are no high
current lines on this things. Plus, with that many trifurcon pins on
one connector, removing the connector for future repairs, work, etc.,
is hard to do and really puts a strain on the header pin solder
joints. (they sort of "grip" the header pin)

Also, you'll need the proper crimpers as they ones the sell at R/S,
Lowes, etc., are not the proper type.

Great Plains and Big Daddy both sell the proper pins and crimpers,
along w/ the housings too (.156"). Be sure to get the proper size
based on the wire gauge. Skinny wires are either 20 or 22ga. Fatter
ones are 18ga.

hope this helps,
steve

I have a bad connector on one display that has broken metal tabs in

and what size should I be ordering?

Are they Trifurcon Connector Pins that are crimped on the wires and
inserted into the plastic housing?  Thanks. Q
