Can I use a MacBook 2016's trackpad to replace a MacBook 2015's?

Macbook 12" Retina Early 2015

Hi,

I broke the trackpad ribbon cable of my Macbook 2015 while doing another repair and there's no stock for the replacement cable...

There's stock for the 2016 cable, if the cables are not compatible can I just replace the 2015's trackpad by the 2016's trackpad + cable?

Cheers,

Pierre
