Repair wheel chair controller

[Jason D.]

This flat pin header connector got ripped of the circuit board. I'm not sure what type of header pins it uses and I could not remove the plastic housing from the pins, does anyone know how I find a replacement for this connector?

What is the pitch of the pins? 2.54mm (0.1")? Possibility? Another?

Famous last words, but might be 0.1" I think, If so, I think replacing that should be super simple.

I was able to repair the controller. I was able to find some 90° header pins that were the correct spacing/pitch but are not as thick as the pins that where in the circuit board. I was also not able to get the plastic connector off the old pins so there is no "locking" connection, but hey, it works. Thanks for the responses.

Welcome. Maybe a shot of the "Hot Snot" as Dave Jones puts it on the EEVBlog, aka Hot Glue, might help keep it in place.
