Would any of you guys happen to know what this pin is called/ how to search for a replacement? This connects to a 4 wired cable with a USB cable on the opposite end. This end plugs into the electronic device. The cable has been used for some time and has a break in the wire where it meets the device. My plan is to trim the wires back a couple inches, replace these connectors pictured, and reassemble. The connectors measure 0.23" in length. They're too small to try and salvage/ reuse. Thanks in advance for any help. PXL_20221219_140639257.jpgPXL_20221219_140547112.jpg
 
No idea where to find them, but when I am in that situation I shove a pick into the crimp part being careful to shove it under your nail. Must do that or it will never come loose. I then recrimp the terminal and solder it also. Apply heat shrink or tape to it.

That was my original plan but it's so dang small I cant get the pick in there
 
You'll probably have to buy the whole connector. Even still, you'll probably have to 10-100 of them.
From the looks of it, you should be able to solder tack the wire right on top of the existing crimp and then crimp the back part to secure.
There's a reason I bought a magnifying desk lamp.

ETA - I just realized what that is. My perspective was off and it didn't click, because they're slightly different. Yes, as mentioned, that is a varistion of a Dupont female connector pin. They come in connected strips and you need the right crimping tool to use them. I did a round variation for RS-232 back in the day, hundreds of not thousands of them, building cables. Yes. I used to own the crimp tool. No, I have no idea where it went. The wire connector needs to be able to lock into the plug. And the female plug needs to interface correctly with the male plug on the board. Note the raised ridges that must mate with the other connector.
I think it can be patched. But, you're going to run into matching wire length issues making it difficult.

Here is a closed connector version.

Can you get a picture of a good connector end that engages the pin? I doesn’t look like ones I have. I have terminal pin kits and crimping tools.
