Happs Optical Board connection question
« on: March 21, 2004, 06:48:59 am »
Hey...I have these Happs optical joysticks that use the Happs optical boards. They have these super cheap ass molex-type connectors that plug onto the optical boards...with four wires going off which I have connected to my Opti-Pac. The problem I keep having is the cheap plastic connectors to the optical boards...the wires on these things are constantly breaking off! The connectors really are horrible and I am seeking an alternative way to go from the optic board to the opti-pac....

I think I can just hook the individual wires to the optic-boards metal prongs if I can find the right connectors....do they exist? any ideas?

Thanks!

Which Happs joystick is it? It sounds like the connectors are being over-crimped on the wires that are going to the Molex plug.

it's the happs OPTICAL Joystick. They come pre-crimped in there...and the connector attaches to the four prongs of the optic board. I need some alternative way to connect them since the Happs molex deal isn't lasting.
