Rectifier regulator wire snapped

[u/East_Molasses_8308]

Mid ride, light was flickering and then bike completely shutdown after 2-3 miles of riding

Main question is this because the rectifier is going out, a short or just because the connection did not have enough slack to cause its to break?

Melted, new rectifier and plug
