Title: i'm looking for good molex type connectors for control panel?
Post by: thetered on June 26, 2005, 01:50:39 am

I'm trying to find a suitable connector for my control panel so I can swap CP's back and forth, does anyone know of any good ones that have atleast 12 pins each?

AMP Mate N Lock connectors would do nicely. Bob Roberts has them as they've been used in quite a few arcade machines.

I disagree completely on using AMP brand products. They are only resaonably priced if you are a manufacturer and buying their products in 100,000 quantities. For the average Joe AMP products are way way overpriced. I refuse to buy their stuff.

Go to mouser.com and buy Molex stuff instead. It's a lot cheaper.

Mouser part numbers:

538-03-09-1125 Receptacle, 12 pin, .093" (59 cents each)

538-03-09-2122 Plug, 12 pin, .093" (45 cents each)

538-02-09-1119 Female terminal, .093" (8 cents each per 100)

538-02-09-2118 Male terminal, .093" (10 cents eac per 100)

Thanks for the info, those are what I was looking for, but I wanted to see a picture to be sure and I found them over at www.jameco.com and they were quite a bit cheaper, on my order I saved a little over 10 bucks verses mouser.   Just thought you might be interested for future reference.
