Contacts for removable panels (cable-free)
<< < (9/14) > >>
Major Rock Hardy:
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:

perhaps something like a spring battery terminal like these would work as a cheaper option:

I'm a bit confused as to whether you get 1 or 2 of the jamb tac things.  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...
Lilwolf:
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?

I need 11 per player + 5 for USB.  Of course not every control panel will use them all...some will just use USB etc...

What do you mean by 'control panel sides'?
