what is this electronics connector called?

[bcbud3]

Need some help please. What is this kind of connector called? The wire came out of the other end and I need to figure out how to pry open. Thanks

Can't tell from that angle.

looks like an earphone or earbud or some such.
Can't tell from the one angle

Apart from some better pictures, why don't you tell us what it came from?

Kids electronic built it kit. Some kind of button snap connector. Trying to figure out how to open it up to get the wire back into the other end.

They are usually moulded (molded?) so you are unlikely to find a way in without breaking the plastic. I have seen them used a lot on anti-static mats, and anti-static wrist straps. I seem to remember them being called 'pop studs' or 'popper studs'- something like that.

I hope this helps.

If you google "electric snap fastener" you will get results, however I'm not sure they will be compatible. I remember that kind of connector from when I had Snap Circuits as a kid, fun times. I think the toy version might be proprietary, but not sure.

My Doctor attached them to adhesive sensors stuck to my chest for a routine EKG.

Looks like a standard fabric snap fastener adapted to ground lug use.

Agree with Watthour.

Hard to judge from the photo the size, but those are the same snaps they used for anti static mats and wrist straps on the production floor.

They are usually moulded (molded?) ...

I believe you were correct in the first instance, primarily because if they are "molded" that can usually be cleaned up with a bit of sodium hypochlorite solution, some UV-B/C radiation, or heating above 190° (that's Fahrenheit, or about 85°C). Aw, screw it - 360°K.

Stranger still, if we have a piece which has been "molded" of plastic, clay, or some similar material it probably doesn't include any fungus. Conversely, if we shape a piece of wood into an intricate form, it becomes a "moulding" almost straight away, apparently because wood is special like that. Although that's just like the trim piece on the side of a vehicle, so perhaps it's not so universal after all.

Moreover, the closer we get to Canada, the more confusing it gets, and that's not EVEN interjecting any of that convoluted French stuff from down there in Ontario. They seem to have a language with a distinct colour (color?) which keeps everyone on their toes.

IN any event, I still don't quite get the whole "lorry" thing, especially when a "lorry" probably has a "truck" under the rear end, and then a smaller one inside the back compartment. However, we colonials can be pretty simple at times. The language was already one of the most confusing (if not the most) in existence, and then the Aussies, Kiwis, and Americans got hold of it and flavored (flavoured?) it even further. I'm confident that you thought that was quite enough already, but then just to up the ante, we created "auto-correct" to butcher it completely into sausage.

Haav uh goud dehy...

Or ask yourself what would Red Green do ... stick the stripped wire in the fastener and push it down to the stud.

^^ temp patched them at work that way.

It looks like one of the jumper wires from a snap circuits kit my son has, https://shop.elenco.com/consumers/jumper-wire-18-black.html

Anti stat snap.
