Title: "Molex Conectors" - where to buy
Post by: bimm25e on October 16, 2013, 03:33:33 pm: So in my cabinet modd-ery I am finding I would prefer to use the stock conenctors to make adapters instead of cutting up the riginals

I need to know where to get "molex"-style connectors for 2 of my machines, one set for the NAMCO guns I have and another for an MVC2 control panel

here are pictures of the specific connectors - if anyone knows where I can get some of these I would greatly appreciate it.

EDIT: looks like except for the middle one in the bottom pic....always one short. I can see what I have in the pile of wiring harnesses I'm hoarding, but it will be a few days before I have time to look.

http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=03-09-2122virtualkey53810000virtualkey538-03-09-2122 (http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=03-09-2122virtualkey53810000virtualkey538-03-09-2122) - 12 pin male

As far as the NAMCO gun connectors go, I think found them here: http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=794895-1virtualkey57100000virtualkey571-7948951 (http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=794895-1virtualkey57100000virtualkey571-7948951)

Are these the correct size though? I can confirm the keyholes are the same orientation.

Also will I need to be buying pins as well or are they included? and if so what sizes do I need?

Sorry guys I get the circuits but shopping for this stuff is a real PITA

Post by: TopJimmyCooks on October 19, 2013, 12:27:03 am: I am worried that this is a molex thread and Nephasth hasn't weighed in. can someone go over to his place and see if he still fogs a mirror?
