Can /diy/ help me identify the white connector on this board?

it's not a connector, it's just a plastic frame to hold the pins in the right position to be soldered. you don't need it, just record which pins are what color/go to pins on the usb connector and solder your new cable.

I figured that might be the case. Thanks

It looks like part of the Molex "spox" series.

Make no mistake OP, it IS a connector. It's probably not worth replacing because the connector and 4 pins are going to run you about a dollar, but the crimp tool to secure the pins on the wire will run you more like $200. Not worth it if this is the only time you will ever use a spox connector.

So, as everyone else is saying, just ghetto rig it. If you are good at soldering, you can cut the plug off the current wire and individually solder the wires on to your new cable, but if you suck at soldering you will end up with worse quality because crappy solder joints will affect the data quality. USB is fairly forgiving though, so I'd say give it a try, just in case you ever need to disconnect it in the future. Otherwise, just solder directly to the pins of the connector on the board like an animal.

I'm doing that now, hopefully there'll be no shorts with the 4 cables + ground

no way the connector pictured
op's has fingers holding the pins, you can see through to the contacts.
official crimpers are stupid expensive, you can get a cheap set with replaceable jaws that will crimp anything and everything.

it's not a connector since it doesnt disconnect. the only way to pull that is to desolder it.
source: i take a lot of things apart.

Where can you solder to? The whole thing is shrouded in plastic, and it looks like pins on the end of those wires.

OP, is it a connector or not?

>>1198521
The wires crimp into pins, which make a 90* bend to go into the PCB. It is definitely not a connnnector

OP here, it's just a plastic shroud. The pins themselves are soldered onto the board.
I'm soldering the wire together after cutting the part which I suspected to be broken.

>>1198535
Duely noted. I stand corrected.

>>1198536
It has pins at the bottom, 100%.

Update: my soldering iron's tip is being annoying and won't solder things, will post once finished.

Thats how retarded you sound.

It's done, thanks guys
