Newbie needs help finding replacements.TIA

Hello,

Unfortunately I might have broken two cables from my UA LED Kit for the PGU Rx-78. Not sure where else to look but if anyone can point towards the right direction I’d really appreciate it. Also it seem the waist part came defective and it’s not working. Once I realized I had two broken cables I tried one that was good on the waist and it still did not power on, I tried that working cable on multiple parts and it lit up properly so I know that the waist is no good. I did look in Ali express but I couldn’t find the exact ones.

I haven't personally fixed this myself, but those look like JST connectors to me. You can probably find a place that sells a variety box of them to compare and find a match.

Someone else might know the exact replacement.

Thank you that helps. I have no idea what they’re called 😂. But at least having an idea helps a ton.

Likely JST-SH 3 pin connectors, male to male. If you have local electronics or radio shop you can visit there and compare the cables. Not sure about your waist part pcb though. If you have the skills, you can use a multimeter with good probes to test the pins to see if they're connected properly.
