Hi Ignacio,
I finally got around to repairing that crumbled blue connector with a black DuPont connector housing. I only had four-pin versions and decided to clip a single socket from one and CA-glue it to the side of a four-pin to make a five-pin. That worked great and I have it fully repaired. Now I no longer have to cringe every time I see those bare sockets hanging on their pins!
Thanks again,
Barry - N4BUQ

Been there. You can replace the broken connectors with DuPont ones. They
are cheap, widely used, i.e. in Arduino projects and in various pin
counts. They are always black.

Yes, It's always the blue ones that crumble.

Regarding those harmonica connectors, when I pulled one of them from one of the
circuit boards last night (P1306 on the A22 board), it crumbled in my fingers.
Interestingly, it was a blue connector. The other colors were okay. I have
noticed that the blue connectors have crumbled more consistently in some of my
plugins and I'm wondering what a specific color would have to do with this.
Presumably they're all mixed with a dye but odd that blue is affected more
than the other colors. Anyone else noticed this?
Thanks,
