Control Panel Connection

Pages: (1/4) > >>

FrizzleFried:

My new MAME project is such a beast that it will not fit through a regular door without the control panel removed.  In order to accommodate this requirement I will need to wire in some sort of connection interface.

I was thinking of just going with a hard drive cable,  however,  if I did that,  I would need to find a cable that had a FEMALE end as opposed to a regular MALE hard drive cable end.

Does anyone know where I can find such a thing? 

...or perhaps someone has a better idea as far as a connection interface? 

Thanks!

I'm not sure how many connections you need, but I'm using these:

There are solder ones too.

Frizzle,
This is what I used as well. If you aren't up to soldering them you can get these plugs with Molex pins that you just crimp.

FrizzleFried:

Do you order online or do you drop by your local RadioCrap?  Do they have much of a selection at the B&M?



Dudeman:

I got it at the local store. They usually have these in the area with the components.

Been looking and haven't see a male 40 pin connector for a HD cable.
