Quoted from blaze1635:Thanks so much for your replies. It’s an 11-pin .156 IDC connector. I probably will need a new one, or at least to swap it with another one on the board that doesn’t use the same pin that’s fried.
But I don’t really want to do that until I am sure I don’t have a short with the light string. Also not sure why the fuse didn’t blow before the connector got singed.
That pinwiki link looks like a great resource.
Thanks again.
Burned GI connectors are normal.
Williams did a crap job on these, way to cheaply made.
If the pins on the board arent burned thru, buffing them with a dremel wire brush can bring them back to life for a long time. Especially if you now have LEDs installed.
Always replace the connectors on GI circuits with trifurcons.
The wires are just too crispy now for a reliable IDC connector replacement.
