"Molex Conectors" - where to buy
« on: October 16, 2013, 03:33:33 pm »
So in my cabinet modd-ery I am finding I would prefer to use the stock conenctors to make adapters instead of cutting up the riginals

I need to know where to get "molex"-style connectors for 2 of my machines, one set for the NAMCO guns I have and another for an MVC2 control panel

here are pictures of the specific connectors - if anyone knows where I can get some of these I would greatly appreciate it.

Normally I'd order connectors from Digikey or Mouser, but those particular ones are usually stocked at your local RadioShack.

EDIT: looks like except for the middle one in the bottom pic....always one short.  I can see what I have in the pile of wiring harnesses I'm hoarding, but it will be a few days before I have time to look.

I buy all my Molex from Fry's Electronics, and AMP I get from Bob Roberts.

So Thanks for the helpA I will be ordering the 9 and 12 pin connectors tonight.
http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=03-09-2092virtualkey53810000virtualkey538-03-09-2092 - 9 pin, I think the male and female set.

http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=03-09-1125virtualkey53810000virtualkey538-03-09-1125   -12 pin Female

http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=03-09-2122virtualkey53810000virtualkey538-03-09-2122 - 12 pin male


As far as the NAMCO gun connectors go, I think found them here:  http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=794895-1virtualkey57100000virtualkey571-7948951



Are these the correct size though?  I can confirm the keyholes are the same orientation.



Also will I need to be buying pins as well or are they included? and if so what sizes do I need? 


Sorry guys I get the circuits but shopping for this stuff is a real PITA

I am worried that this is a molex thread and Nephasth hasn't weighed in.  can someone go over to his place and see if he still fogs a mirror?
