Broken ATX power pin

[Pittman90]

So I am currently doing single cable sleeving on my power supply, and when i went to pull one of the pins out of the 8 pin cpu connector, the pin stayed in and the wire came out. I dont think that i can buy just a single atx male pin by its self i think its in a big pack, and i would need a new 8 pin connector if i had to replace it. Is there anything i can do to try and fix it with out replacing it? Thanks!

how did you pull the wire out with the pin still in the connector?

 

you're using the right tools, right?

Well i dont really have the correct tools... but what i have been using was working fine up until this point.

Assuming you can still get the pin out you can buy this :

But you will also need a set of crimpers.

It wouldn't be the best as recrimping it but theoretically you could solder it back on where the crimp let go.

I just bought a new connector on PerformancePC that came with the pins so i can just crimp the broken one
