This is the clip you need, a J-shaped metal piece that folds onto itself. The plastic piece you just throw out or use it for something else. (larger image below)
BUT when the order came in, I got this:
It is a different shape and difficult to fit into the LC's plastic connector but it will fit in there with some wrestling. It is a square shaped barrel with a fin in the front. It is this fin that will give problems. The square barrel does fit into the pins on the LC Board snuggly, ensuring a proper electrical connection on all sides of the pin and not just one side like on the J-Clip.
In talking with Digi-Key, they sent that one because they ran out of the J-Clips and the J-clips are no longer made in the USA. They could back order them from China but that would take a long while, so I decided to work with this square clip.
It does work but it's a rabid female dog to fit in. When you crimp the wire in place and fit the pin into the connector, the front fin will bind inside the clip. You need to go into the board side of the connector and with a small jeweler's screw driver or fat paper clip, go into the clip and from both ends wriggle it about until it lines up with the hold on the board side of the connector.
Once the clip(s) are in place inside the connector, you can put it on the LC Motherboard connector and turn on the machine.
