Flex cable for old Tamron 18-200?
Since the flex cable on my Tamron AF 18-200 mm F3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD ASL IF Macro (A14)
Had several fractures and is therefore probably broken I wanted to know the following
When I looked on eBay and other sites, I noticed several flex cables like this one: https://www.ebay.de/itm/221244749263?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20230811123857%26meid%3De65e11f084734a799c1f2afd5e054029%26pid%3D101770%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D221244749263%26pmt%3D0%2 6noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2%26brand%3DTamron&_trksid=p4375194.c101770.m146925&_trkparms=paren trq%3Ae0206f4d18c0ab8e0f565c78fffeb3b6%7Cpageci%3A068e7c33-acc5-11ee-8431-ea6c5e82d7c7%7Ciid%3A1%7Cvlpname%3Avlp_homepage
However, I'm not sure if it fits my lens exactly or if it doesn't matter, but just has to look the same as the contacts etc. And then I can replace it without any problems.
Thank you in advance

Hello
you need to explain if it really is for A014 and then choose bayonet type
Thank you very much
Hello
best to install flex cable beforehand and then compare it with the image (just put on the monitor and zoom until it fits). In addition, you will also know what other small parts you build (screws with microencapsulation, plastic roller of the zoom scene, sheet metal support of the PCB film because you have to bend)
There are tutorials on the net for installation and on a US newsgroup someone has posted the Tamron documents (Google finds nix more on it). At that time, it was essentially about testing and adjusting the lens groups because the rear lens group must be disassembled to remove the PCB.
In principle, this is a screwing action. And there are many screws it is nothing clicked or stuffed like Kit Zoms. Some screws are self-felting types that need to be reassembled with safety lacquer. The inner tubes are partially coated with a sliding film, although nix slides there, it should probably delay the embrittling/drying of the plastic
And best to do cracks or lines with foil pin at Tamron you have not set any index points. With the engine models Canon, Nikon II you must index AF motor and diaphragm motor. Tamron sets the reference point/start point of the motors after installation by software and the diaphragm motor runs without mechanical end stops
