Will do. Thanks for your help.

It would be helpful to have a pic of your actual microswitches so we can see which female connectors should fit properly.

However, I have a pic and explanation of all 3 sizes in this post:  http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,99770.msg1057440.html#msg1057440
I also put the pic here again for reference.

Hope this helps!

The ones I'm having issues with are similar to the ones in the top left. The ones I'm used to are those in the top right. The female connectors for those in the top right don't feel like they'll mate (is that the correct word?) with those in the top left - pushing them all the way just feels like the connection will fall off at some point in the near future. Do these connectors have different names or is it pot luck what you receive?

The upper left are Cherry Switches (click on the link I provided for more info).  Those use .187 connectors.  The ones on the upper right are e-switches, they are slightly bigger.

If you are worried about fiddling with loose connections, solder'em on.
