Looking for a Molex Connector - advice needed
javeryh:
I've got 10 buttons (4 admin) and a joystick for each player on my cabinet and I'm looking for a molex connector to run everything through so I can have a quick and easy way to disconnect my CPs for maintenance. Can someone please post a direct link to something like this? I was on the Molex site and couldn't find my way around... THANKS!

Anyone? Would this work? Do I need to buy both "male" and "female" connectors?
This is from the Happ website - http://www.happcontrols.com/electrical_supplies/43025000.htm. It's the only ones I could find - any help would be great!

I would be inclined to go with a ribbon cable and headers for that many pins together. Alternately, I have my CP split into sections and use RJ-45 connections (cheap, easy to plug/unplug, and easy to assemble).

You might also like to look through the bin at a Radio Shack.

DB25 (Serial/Parallel) connectors are very easy to get for free and work well.
I've never been a big fan of Molex.
