Coin door wiring help - QD size?

[AzureKnight]

This is a really rookie electrical question, but I can't just look and tell yet like some of you can.

I have a Universal coin door from ArcadeEmulator.net (which I believe is a Happ).

I went to wire up the switches yesterday only to find they are much bigger than the quick disconnects that I have for all the standard switches.  I didn't take a photo but I can tonight if I need to.

Does anyone know what size quick disconnects those use?

Prolly .250, which are easy to find at an auto parts, hardware or electronics store. I get mine at Ace Hardware.

Thanks yotsuya, had I not been and idiot I would have taken out the switch and brought it with me to check at the store.  But I forgot and I want to pick them up on my way home, if all goes well I can power it up for the first time tonight and I don't want to hold off.....

Yeh probably quarter inch ones.

Can you take it with you to the auto parts or hardware store?  They may have some loose ones

[yotsuya]

I'm 100% sure they're .250 connectors. Get the insulated ones.

Yeah, I could but I want to stop on the way home and I forgot to bring it.  So I figured I would google and when that failed, ask all of you 

Thanks all, I'll buy the .250 ones.

If they don't fit, I will personally buy them off of you.

In fact, I get the .250 male and female ends to make quick disconnect between wire runs, especially on things that uses electricity.

I dug up an old post that I made and I'm re-posting it here since I feel it's more relevant:

The Cherry brand uses .187 connectors.  Buy the connectors here
The E-Switch brand is slightly bigger and uses .250 connectors.  Buy the connectors here
The GGG Microleaf switch (and Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons) uses even smaller .110 connectors!  Buy the connectors here

I've pictured them all below for comparison.  The Cherry is on the left, the E-switch on the right and the microleaf on the bottom.  It's a shame they changed the size of the connectors on the Cherry vs. E-switch.  All of the connectors I own are for the original Cherry switch, which is .187.

Well, if everything was working with his wiring on his other switch (which are generally .187), and the door ones are bigger than the other ones (according to him), it stands to reason that he's got .250s on his coin door. That, and experience.
