Connectors for swappable CP's

Pages: << < (8/8)

NIVO:

you can see here the type of connector i chose to go with. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=55220.msg541806#msg541806 they are made by allen-bradley. They are the best you could want, and probably overkill, and most definitely not the cheapest solution. They work like this: you take your wire, slide it into one of the numbered slots, and turn down the screw to lock it into place. Its the same as wiring the other end to the Ipac. Again a bit overkill, but i wanted the best.

original_maxlamer:

I use molex connecters on my swapable control panel and DONT have to even unbolt the control panel to connect or disconnect.

I just have the wireing loom accessable from the coin door with enough slack that i can disconnect the loom, unbold the panel, then lift the panel straight off.

Easy when the hole to poke the cables through is over 5inch diameter

pmc:

I used 50-pin internal SCSI ribbon cables, but if I had to do it again, I'd use 6-foot Centronics 50-pin cables cut in half (length, durability, and easy to use).

Yup, that is your best bet if you have a bunch of inputs, and they are relatively cheap as well. Get a male to female jumper and cut it in half.
