SinLoon 2 PCS HDMI Solderless Adapter

Was a great purchase. I was able to repair an HDMI cable between my TV and the DishTV satellite box (in a different wall mounted cabinet) where the end had started to come off. Ran inside the walls of my RV, running a replacement cable was not really an option. To figure out the correct wires to connect to which terminal I had to cut my cable and trace each wire back one by one to the broken on the original. Color coded diagrams mean almost nothing as each HDMI manufacturer does their own thing. My Plan B option was a wireles HDMI transmitter/receiver pair.

External materials seems like a very low quality plastic . The internal components of the HDMI works great nice image and no problems so far. For price I think is a very good deal. ( wish it could include instructions and diagram, you can find several in the Internet. The colors of the wires are different and you will have to test on by one)

If an HDMI cable connection is broken it should be easy to fix. Not the case in real life! Our cable runs through a motorhome under and in cable runs with other equipment. WHY aren’t the wiring of these standard in the industry? Nothing in our cable matched any existing diagrams on the internet. The HDMI cable that had the broken head feeds a splitter somewhere in the motorhome walls. Without tearing out the walls from one side to the other I could not check continuity to figure out how the cable manufacture wired ours. I tried and found trying to get the wires in a terminal location and get the covers on impossible. This is not a homeowner solution to the problem we had.

Probably good for a technical person, but my ten thumbs had a difficult time so I just bough a new cable.

I have about two decades of professional and DIY/self-taught repair, installation, troubleshooting experience in basically everything from plumbing, residential and industrial commercial electric, diesel engines including diesel electric generators, small electrical repair like soldering components, industrial HVAC install and repair… list goes on. I’d rate this repair kit as a 6/10 or 4/5 stars. Pros: it works! Fairly easy to work with replacement connector head. The plastic housing for the connector is, like many consumer electronics for the past 30 years, plastic injection molded BUT it seems like they used heavy-grade plastic unlikely to break from simple usage. So that’s fine Cons: -no instructions came with the unit. The pin out shown on this sales page was not correct for my cable! (25ft in-wall HDMI that I snapped the original head on (oops)) In order to successfully complete this repair without going insane you will absolutely need a multimeter capable of reading resistance. No way out of that. Do not buy this if you don’t have a multimeter. I assure you it will be a waste of your time and money with the one exception of you have access to accurate and correct schematics from the manufacturer showing the correct pin outs. I wouldn’t trust that though! Just get a multimeter or don’t bother. Seriously. Few notes for people to help someone hopefully: Once you strip the wires on the replacement end (so you’ll need real electrical wire strippers. A sharp knife and steady hand will also work, but, if you value your time and sanity get strippers) you’ll have a variety of bundles of 3 wires (I assume these are send/receive data lines with a bare ground wire. It’s not that important to know what they do as long as you just know where to connect them) and some loose wires. 19 wires seems to be the standard for HDMI. The replacement board has 20 terminals for wires, obviously the 20th goes unused. Strip those 19 wires carefully. Take your time. They’re probably made from super cheap supply and annoying to strip. Just go slow. Spread the wires out. Take a female-female HDMI connector (meant to connect 2 cables to create one long cable). Plug your replacement new HDMI end into one end and the good old end of your cable into the other. See picture. Now you have a super easy way to poke down onto the underside of the replacement end board. Use alligator clips to snuggly hold the exposed wiring, poke the board, and write down the pin numbers and associated color in a way you’ll understand. Do all 19. That’s the longest most tedious part. Then you just stick the stripped wires in the terminals, tighten down, double check for loose or shorted wires, and test it out. Overall, first time for me messing with a HDMI cable internally, it took me about an hour or so. Not that hard, slightly annoying. If you have a setup and the tools you’ll be done quickly. Btw, if you’re buying this for an open easy to replacement cable (so not like in a wall or ceiling), don’t bother imo. If the cable is $15 well this replacement is $10 + time from your life which you probably value more highly. This is for expensive (long) cables or cables that were cut to fit through a floor or something. Pictures are: 1 and 2: the easiest setup for pin testing (replacement board -> female to female connection -> original unbroken HDMI end. The other end of the cable is stripped wires. Test continuity between the pin 1-19 and wires 1-19) 3: finished repaired working end

Works but tiny wires absolutely suck to strip and manage.

I had hopes for this as we have an HDMI cable fed through the wall that broke so was hoping to just fix the end. Wasn't able to use as HDMI cables have no standard for colors used. Without changing both ends to be sure they matched, there was no way to know which wire needed to go in each spot. But if you knew for sure, then I feel it would have been easier. I even looked up to try to find more color options but it just wasn't readily available since no standard & consistency across the board for these cables.

Actually worked well. Saved me a lot of time and potentially money. I was told my cable was not repairable, till I found this adapt their online. Came with the necessary tools to install it.

HDMI terminal snapped and the cable is running through the wall! This replacement head worked. As other comments suggested, Multimeter and F/F adapter is needed to find which wire to connect on which pin on the terminal block! Also, wire stripping tool helped, patience needed to strip the 19 delicate wire in the HDMI cable and to connect one at a time to the terminal block. The alternate option was HDMI Extender (wireless HDMI Tx/Rx) which was much more expensive with mixed online reviews!

Ohne Anleitung ist nicht zu gebrauchen..

Me saco del apuro para un cable HDMI que no había forma de cambiarlo y habían roto la clavija

Bought to mend a broken hdmi cable. Looks sturdy.

Wiring diagram essential!
