Splicing ribbon cable

gaffer falls · 2016-05-30 19:22:26

Plastic grey ribbon cable on an piece of equipment has been damaged by someone driving a screw through it damaging 4 of the wires .Is there a snap on male/female connector that I could use to splice it having cut out the damaged piece?Don't feel confident about delicate soldering on pcb boards.

If it's only 4 wires damaged, just bridge the gaps in each conductor will 4 bits of wire soldered into place... You could also use some heat shrink on it....
