Hello. To avoid having to purchase a new set of expensive footpads for my OneWheel skateboard, I’m attempting to fix a damaged wire connection on my own. Through my research I found that it might be a Jumper Wire - 0.1", 3 pin. I have attached photos of the damaged connection and what it plugs into. It is for the pressure sensor on my OneWheel. I would appreciate some technical assistance for guidance on what products to buy. It could be as simple as clipping the wire and crimping on a new connection. Thank you

Thank you Bill!
One of these should work. Just cut it in half and splice the wires onto your existing wires.

I see two female sockets but I’m not seeing how they connect. If you don’t already have pins to join them, some of these could be used.

Hope this gets you rolling!
Thank you Bill. I will try that wire you recommended. However, the photo with the wire connection that is circled had three tiny fingers on it that broke off. I believe that connection was a male. Does this change any recommendations? Also, could you make note of the wire gauge and splice connections for that? Thank you.
I see the pins for mating both females. Can you suggest a solderless connection for the splicing of the wires? Thank you
The connections are what are often called ‘oh one hundred’ since the pins & sockets are spaced at 0.10 inches intervals.
When there’s a bunch of them in a line, they’re headers.
As @YellowDog says, it seems you could use some of that 0.1 M-M header between your female ends.
Make sure there aren’t any broken pins in the sockets before trying to jam anything else in.
