7-10. Connector Pin, Damaged (Broken or Missing). If the pins are too small, or time is insufficient, the entire
connector should be replaced. A replacement connector complete with a pigtail removed from another generator can be
spliced to the generator wiring harness as shown (figure 7-4). If the connector is attached to shock mounted equipment,
the wires should be long enough to insure free movement of the equipment on its shock mounts. Procedures are the
same as repairing a wire bundle, see paragraph 7-11.
Figure 7-4. Connector Spliced to Generator Wiring.
7-11. Wires Broken. Broken wires can be spliced several different ways to restore an electrical circuit. The available
tools and materials will determine the method used. Soldered connections conduct current the best and should be used
whenever possible.
