@coopbossman tape will not close the contacts. It needs that little bit of pressure from the clasp. Depends on how and where it is broken, sometimes you can reinsert the clasp. If you can't get a broken board and harvest the connector from that. It is soldered and as such you will have to desolder from the old board and then transplant to your board.
