I'm glad I found TFP! My header connector for my Hayward tcell 940 burned on the main board. After reading some other threads here on TFP, I came to the conclusion that I needed to replace the Hayward Omnilogic T-Cell PCB Board | HLX-PCB-TCELL and the header. Of course, that means I have to remove the entire motherboard to remove the old header and solder in a new header. If anyone has advice on doing it correctly the first time, I'm all ears! ajw22 had a great post that helped me significantly! Here is the post:
The plug is a Molex 76650-0078 plug

The connector header on the pcb is Molex 00015246101, Digi-Key Part# WM7188-ND. EBay "15-24-6106 MOLEX CONN HEADER 10 POSITION 4.2mm VERT TIN" has been a source for it. It's an exact fitment except it's off white. It is also reported to be Mini-Fit BMI 42385
