Help with finding unique wire lug(s)

[Clipper]

Hi all,

I need to find these two wire crimp lugs for my hair clippers after I cut the wires to shorten them, thinking I might be able to prise them open and reuse. Unfortunately it turned out to be more difficult than anticipated, and have gone and snapped one, the most unique one as well!

Has anyone any ideas where I can find replacements, or a work around? I have been to my local Halfords and electrical wholesalers, but these are so small there's nothing remotely similar. Someone suggested a model train store which I thought possibly a good idea, but it's difficult to explain what I need over the phone without knowing the proper names and for the other person to actually see what I'm talking about. Will add photos here...

They're for 1.5mm wire, and both 10mm in length, crimp section around 3mm wide.
One is an o-ring type with the centre hole 2mm approx.
The other, which is proving the more difficult one, is F shaped at a flat 90° angle, which is necessary to fit inside the clippers body.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction . I did see similar things online by doing a reverse image lookup, but they're £0.30 + £20 p+p lol, and not 100% sure they'd work.

Any help appreciated.

TIA

P.s. the second image is showing where the F connector sits, just to give an idea if anyone knows of a workaround, maybe a similar connector that would do the same job?

I would just solder the wires onto the lugs, in the area that the crimp was. It wouldn't be the easiest thing to solder, but if you tin the lug and the wire before attempting to join them, and have something to hold them in place when soldering, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Hi, thanks for the reply...

I was going to solder them on if reusing the lugs but unfortunately I've gone and snapped one of them, so not sure how well solder will hold now as these things (hair clippers) vibrate quite aggressively when in use.
I just went to a model train shop near me but he didn't have anything suitable.

As there is still 25mm copper wire attached to the o-ring lug I suppose I could reattach that. I wish I'd sourced the connectors before cutting them! lol

They can be DIY'd from a ring terminal by cutting out the side or a solid, non- forked flag spade quick connect by slotting the spade. The opening the ring is easier and is what I have done.

I was just coming here to add something similar lol. I just squashed this o-ring a bit and tried it in the relevant connection and thought 'cut one of these into a fork/flag' .

Excellent thanks ... I tried your link but can't access it from outside the US, I'm in the UK, but using a vpn I could see what you mean. Doing a local search for a flag has sent me down the right route.

Happy Days... much appreciated.

Thanks
