When a powered carpet head cuts in and out as the operator sweeps, the instinct is to blame the motor. More often it is the short electrical lead that flexes every single stroke. Cords fail where they bend, and on a powerhead the pigtail bends thousands of times per shift.
The Sandia 10-0164-F is the OEM motor pigtail cord for the 10-0164 powerhead, the powered head Sandia offers for its Raven 6-quart and 10-quart backpack vacuums. It is an inexpensive electrical service part that regularly saves an otherwise healthy head, and it is exactly the kind of item a maintenance shop wants in the drawer before the call comes in, not after.
Because it is a mains-voltage part, treat it as a technician job: unplug the machine, and if you are not comfortable with the connections, hand it to a qualified service center.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know the cord is the problem and not the motor?
An intermittent fault that changes when the cord is moved or flexed points at the lead. A head that is completely dead in every position, or that hums without turning, points at the motor or the brush assembly.
Can I install it myself?
It is a mains-voltage connection. Unplug the machine first, and if the wiring is not something you work on routinely, have a qualified service center do it.
Which powerhead does it fit?
It is the OEM pigtail for the Sandia 10-0164 powerhead used with the Raven 6-quart and 10-quart backpack vacuums.
Should I replace anything else at the same time?
If the head is already open and the bristles are short, many shops fit the 10-0164-C brush or the 10-0164-E brush assembly in the same visit.
