Shortening the light cables

[WIllempie (Willem)]

Hello,
I want to shorten the lights cables so they fit better in my custom design.
But when I opent the light the connector is not the normal plug and seems to be a pressure fit kind of connector.
My question being; How to reattach a cable with this connector?

The connector is something like this: Wire-To-Board Connectors - Kyocera AVX | Mouser

Hi @WIllempie, welcome to the forum

This comment is likely what you’re after:

Lumen light internal electrical connections

We use this punch tool on the insulation displacement connectors: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/avx-corporation/069176701602000/478-4623-ND/1650845 The connectors are designed to use with this tool. As @johng and @Tangaroa mention, you might be unsuccessful or even cause damage without this tool. Without the tool, it might help to place some wadding like folded up paper towel over the wire before pushing it in order to get some conformation and even pressure application.
