I'm working on getting my Pinball machine in better working order and I have a couple of questions that are perhaps more generically related to circuit boards. From the pic below, you can see the burnt wiring harness housing at the top. I want to replace that with a better style (one that contacts the pin on the board at 3 points instead of just one, which is presumably what caused the burning in the first place). My question is how to you do a feed wire housing (where each wire goes into the housing at one point) when on the current set up there is this looping of the wire to effectively send current from or to one wire at two points on the board. Do i need to splice and if so how, just create a "Y"?
The other question is what is the function of a polarizing pin (poorly pictured below)? It is a plastic pin that seems to be placed into a very specific location into the wiring housing at a point where no pin will be entering the housing from the curcuit board. It just seems like it cant possibly do anything as I look at how and where it sits and what it is made from.
Thanks!
Matt
