What will I need to replace my power button and cable?

I was recently looking at my power button because its fell out. I opened the phone and saw a bit of plastic/tape under the button.

I pulled it out and it was a bit of tape with two small metal connector on it.

I am going to replace my headphone/power button flex cable and get a new power button to put in place but will i need this piece of tape and if so where do i get it from/will it come with my new flex cable?

Thanks!

This connector is one piece, so yes, you are changing the volume and sleep/wake buttons on the same cable
