This comes up a lot in our support tickets. This quick video shows how to remove the pins from many of the common connectors. Make sure you cover up any bare leads with shrink tubing to avoid any shorts!
This one was great help...other videos suggested to remove monitor menu switch that failed by unsoldering it. I figured out that rearranging pin within connector to other non-essential switch will do the trick. This video came to the rescue.
The tiny 'click' is one of the happiest sounds in the shop! I have a cheap crimp tool that, along with learning to solder, has saved Me a lot of trouble and pestering You folks on the ticket system!! Good video!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, the pins in my harness had a snap on piece that i could not see without magnifying glass, once I unsnapped th pin came right out and i close the cover again, but without your video I would not have figured this out, so thank you. You saved me 100$ of dollars..
I would love a video that explains each component of the typical quadcopter, explaining what each part is called, each type of connector, etc, and what the purpose of each part is. It would be great to really understand how the components interact with each other to get a broader sense of how the quads work.
Video's like these are great for fixing a fan connector . Old school fixing and soldering. Instead of washing it and buying a whole new fan! thanks and well explained!
awesome, thanks! I successfully adapted a regular 4pin PC fan to Dell's 5pin layout (Dell T3500).I did have to remove the back side plastic of the connector to fit my 4pin, but that's fine :)
Thank you so much! I just fixed my Xornet Mouse (now discontinued) that had a messed up wire. Didn't want to spend $10 on a mouse cord so I just took an old OEM Dell mouse cable as a donor.
Hi! Great video! I'm trying just to disconnect a 2-pin connector inside my Tevo Flash printer. It's the case fan's connector and it's located in a pretty narrow place between a stepper motor driver and the PSU case. I've tried to unbend (a bit) that little side "tongues" of the socket to pull the connector out... but it doesn't work like that :( How this thing work even?
On 1:01 minute, what's is the name of the little metal part that is welded on the cable when you removed it from? the plug connector (the white connector)
That's fantastic for the male side where the pins are visible, but how about the female side where they are not....... Quite a bit more challenging imo. Do you have any recommendations or tips that could be applied?
I tried this, but still i ripped off the wires off the pins. It's from a GPU LED indicator with multiple colors. I wanted to make it always red. Maybe they were in too tight or something no idea.
Another video that doesn’t work for my type of cable. All the pin connectors are covered so you can’t just unclip them. I’ve looked everywhere for a solution for this and still can’t find one.
I love it when a 6-minute topic gets a 6-minute video. Thanks!
Omg, I searched and watched several other similar topic videos and none of them solved my problem. This is the one worked for me. Thank you ~!
Thanks, I searched through a whole stack of videos before finding this, helped me fix a toy that had two wires swapped out of the box.

Hey, I was actually looking for a clean and easy way to remove the plastic connector off a six pin power connector on a pcb board.
I would love a video that explains each component of the typical quadcopter, explaining what each part is called, each type of connector, etc, and what the purpose of each part is. It would be great to really understand how the components interact with each other to get a broader sense of how the quads work.

thanks and well explained!
Great job, just what I needed to get the wires out of a connector so I could route them through the downtube of my bike. Thank you.
This is exactly what I needed for an RX install. TYVM!
Thank you! that was all i needed to make sure I was removing them properly!!
This is exactly what I needed. The fan I bought didn't have the connector so I gotta remove the wires from the original.
Thanks for the vid!! Had a wire in my N75 sensor in my car separate from the pin, I was at a loss but now I can easily fix it up 😃
awesome, thanks! I successfully adapted a regular 4pin PC fan to Dell's 5pin layout (Dell T3500).I did have to remove the back side plastic of the connector to fit my 4pin, but that's fine :)
Thanks, i was stuck with some bike wiring, this video showed me what i needed to get my integrated tail together!
Thank you so much! I just fixed my Xornet Mouse (now discontinued) that had a messed up wire. Didn't want to spend $10 on a mouse cord so I just took an old OEM Dell mouse cable as a donor.
This video spared me a lot of grief this morning.
TY this is a lot of help just purchased a new fan for my PCU and the connector was wired backwards
I am so thankful to the creator of this video. Godbless
EXCELLENT! Thank you for this vid! I needed to see this in the worst way.
Saved me alot of frustration here. Thanks!
How do you remove the metal pin if theirs no wire to pull on," the metal pin is stuck inside the connector. There's no video on that?
Thanks!!! u saved me from having to buy a CPU Cooler! Thank you!!!!
This video is very informative. Thanks!
thx received some hardware and 2 cables were inverted !
and no replacement connector !
extremly helpful vid !
awesome ... just what i been looking for over the past 2 hours lol :)
Nice tips here. I wonder if you can show us how to remove pin from MC4 connector housing as well, Thanks :-)
That was really useful.Night-mare prevention.Thanks very much!
That's what i need.Thanks for a good video.
Thank you so much. I kept thinking I needed to press down on the metal tab to get the pin out. All I needed to do was pry up.
Helped me out greatly. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for showing how to get the pin
What if the piece is connected to the motherboard? How do I get the wires out then?
how do you remove the metal pin from the wire and connect it to a new wire

this was really helpful thanks!!!

Very useful for FPV connection on an OSD or a FPV transmitter :)
Thank you so much, subscribed.

Brian Oberlin we’ve never found a reliable way to get those out, sorry.
Thanks, you helped me in cutting my finger halfway off. Cheers. Front the er
Well that is where you went wrong... "half-way." Don't be a quitter.
It works, and it is easy.
Good day, can you advise what options would I have to replace the header or connector of a mini gpu four pin pwm from male to female...
I tried this, but still i ripped off the wires off the pins. It's from a GPU LED indicator with multiple colors. I wanted to make it always red. Maybe they were in too tight or something no idea.
Thank you this is very helpful
Great video ! However, I would appreciate if U could show us how to do it on a female JST connector as I find it a real pain in the a** ! :D
Thanks, very helpful!
Very helpful!
I have a what I believe is a sumimono hx.40 female that I cannot get the pin out of. Would you have a good example for me?
Robbie Bernstein sorry, that doesn’t sound like anything we use in our electronics.
Is it possible to remove pins from a male servo plug without destroying the plug?
you would need to remove the sleeve that goes over the pins. it takes practice, but once you get it off, then you can use the normal procedure.
Male disconnect would be nice
very nice, thanks
Thanks a million
Another video that doesn’t work for my type of cable. All the pin connectors are covered so you can’t just unclip them. I’ve looked everywhere for a solution for this and still can’t find one.
tack works better than a razor blade
Would have been great if you had explained the other half of each connector.
Thank you....
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!!!
that's great but those are not pins!! How do you remove pins?
Ohhh, no wonder I have this razor blade on my bag
Gave up and cut the wires..
Glen Dooer Never give Up!
Be good if you did a drawing of what the pins look like rather than trying to focus a camera on them,,
Glen Dooer we didn't have a graphics artist back then. If we ever redo this video, we'll try to use your suggestion.
Use Paint in windows just helps to know how the pins work.
You didn't fix anything all you did was show how to remove. I was looking to replace one where a connector was ripped apart
