Hi reef2reef! Can any of you help me out with this connector. A wire got pulled out of this connector and I can’t figure out how to get it back in. There are no hold down screw or anything.
Thanks reef2reef!

Looks to me like it is broke off and I’d assume the other piece is still in the black hard shell connector
 
There are many different types of connectors pin and sleeve type that could have gone in that block.

A small screwdriver might get the part still in the block out.

Molex and Amp are two of the most common manufacturers of that style block.

Is it a pin connector or spade or other on the push connect part.

If you can find a manufacturer name on the connector you can probably match it up for replacement part on digikey.

What is the connector for?

There has to be a way to remove it and reinsert it right? I don’t see how the wires are permanently in there.

It from a giesemann spectra. The t5 connectors.

So yes I am right. The pin did not pull out it actually broke off. Well at least in cars and I’m sure most other connectors usually a keeper needs to be removed then you would use small screw driver or pick type tool or terminal removing tools and remove the broke off piece. Then a new pin will need to be spliced on to that wire and snapped back in
 
Looks like you can get a new connector from coralvue.

The other half of the piece on your wire is still in the clip. They attach to the wire and slide in, then a small barb stops them from sliding back out. Depending on the style a small screwdriver can usually depress the Barb and pop them out. But there are some that need a special tool too.

 
I think I got it figured out. The end of the wire needs to be rigid and shoved back in the hole. It’s spring loaded.
thanks for the help.
 
I had to strip it down and solder the end to make it rigid to get it to go in the spring loaded connector.
 
Thanks for the quick response everybody. I got it to work.
