Title: Molex Connector Type for Nintendo VS Unisystem?
Post by: MastarArcade on July 29, 2013, 01:11:22 pm
Can anyone help me identify the proper mating receptacle for the Molex connector coming from my Nintendo VS control panel? (see the attached picture)

I believe these to receptacles are...

Molex (12): 03-09-1125
Molex (15) :03-09-1157

...so I'll need to get the corresponding plugs, but if anyone can confirm (before I order the wrong stuff!), I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

...to better explain myself, my goal is to make a custom harness that goes from the Molex Connector on the VS Control panel in to an I-PAC.

However, if anyone has an alternative suggestion that might be easier, I'm all ears.

To me, the 12pos connector plug looks like it would be a:  .084 MLX molex

Then the 15pos looks like this one to me, from the pic.

hope this helps.

They're probably not Molex .093 since the P/Ns you posted have a triangular pattern on one side.

The Star Wars yoke uses Molex MLX series connectors and those look different from the pic you posted, too.

Twisty Wrist has the Molex .093 (http://www.twistywristarcade.com/50-molex-093-connectors) connectors and Molex MLX (http://www.twistywristarcade.com/49-molex-084-mlx-series) connectors at great prices, but I think you're looking for something else.

This seems that it its a harder search that necessary.  :'(

I think I may just end up wiring my own harness with quick connects.
