can the metal piece be just crimped on, or must it be soldered?

Crimped connection done right will be physically stronger and gas-tight. Soldered connection has the hazard of wicking into stranded wire, making it brittle. Use anti-corrosion silicone grease and heat shrink tubing if you can.

I totally doubt it. You will pay a vast amount of money to have it cut and soldered.

Sorry for the delay, camping for the last week with no service of any kind, it was great! I use copper wire ends sized for the studs on the back of the switch, soldered is the best way to go, but if you have a good crimp tool you should get a lasting connection. Coat the connections with a good dielectric grease to help prevent corrosion.

If you do not have heavier crimping equipment, I'd either fold the wire over, then insert it in the "fingers" and crush them with a hammer, or IMHO the better option would be solder and a torch.

It is possible to unscrew the piece with the silicon and plastic. Finding metal parts to replace it with is a whole other issue. I have not tried to find them. I would first contact Bodum to see if they offer a metal replacement piece.

Pull it apart, solder, put it together (check for breaks in 3.5mm cord...replace accordingly)

The metal connections come out of the plastic housing. The other end is hollowed out so you can put your wire in and crimp it. Then you just snap it into place inside the plastic case part.

No soldering needed. It came with the IC chip and a home button. It has adhesive on it, at least the one that I ordered did.

We bought an install kit and a little soldering and you are good to go. Hope this helps!

yes, a small metal piece. I am happy with it for what little soldering I use it for.buying a holder for the cables etc. one wants to solder would be a good addition.

not easily. you would need to cut the top and trim the sides including the metal. then redo the connection uo top.

The red rubber piece can be easily replaced. The white plastic piece would take more work; you would have to bend the metal wire pieces and you may not be able to get them back exactly the way they were. But, it could be done.

Hello, It is a universal kit, so it will need to be welded on with fabrication required! Thank you and good luck!

I would highly recommend using a crimping tool, the Signstek A-2546 does a good job for the price.

Like thebother guy said, you tube the steps, but you'll need to do some smd soldering. If you are not familiar with this, you probably shouldn't go much further.

Just pull it with a small pliers. It should come out. It is just clipped not soldered

I "drilled" out one of the holes with a screwdriver. The metal is very weak, and you can force the hole to be big enough to accept the spacer.
