I would be interested to see if USB still functions through a noisy connector such as this - keep me posted... I was planning on doing my contacts on the other side of my encoder (i.e. the joystick/pushbutton/steeringwheel/trackball side). I am curious about how USB will handle this. If you end up going w/ the jamb tac's I would get the #40024 - Jamb Tac 4-Wire Contact Kit instead of #40025 - Jamb Tac 4-Wire with dome lamp switch I found the 40024's at jegs for $27.99: http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=1213&prmenbr=361 perhaps something like a spring battery terminal like these would work as a cheaper option: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/623/1486.pdf Rock |

i think the battery terminals is what minwah has right now, but i don't think they give enough leway. |

If you click to see the product photo, it shows 2x 4-way jamb tacs, presumably one for each side of the door jamb. Do you actually get 2 of them? I still think the contacts I already have would work, if only I can connect wires to them and mount them OK. I might give it a try this weekend... |

btw, how many inputs are you looking for? If you trying to get a usb cable (so encoder or hacked mouse / whatever is on the control panel) Or are you looking for 20-30 for a 2player control panel? Also, how many control panel sides do you expect? 3 or 4 or 10 - 20? |

Of course not every control panel will use them all...some will just use USB etc... --- Quote ---Also, how many control panel sides do you expect? 3 or 4 or 10 - 20? --- End quote --- What do you mean by 'control panel sides'? |
