Title: Name that connector
Post by: MonMotha on August 20, 2006, 03:43:11 am

I've tried to identify this connector series and I can't for the life of me do it.  There's no markings on the connectors and I can't match it up to anything shown in the Digi-Key or Mouser catalogs.

This is the connector used to connect the cabinet power switch to the transformer (and set the input voltage) on a Midway MK2 cabinet.

Anybody happen to be able to identify this connector series and, hopefully, know of a distributor that will deal with very small (i.e. 1) quantity?

Looks to me like some kind of .093" spacing connector.

Looks like Molex to me:

I've had luck finding those type of things at my local Radio Shack, I donno if you have one close or one that has a large selection of those type of parts... Might be worth a call tho.

Huh, you're right.  I didn't notice that series came in a positive lock variant.  The locking clip was what was throwing me off.  Mouser and Digi-Key both stock those, which is hella handier than ordering from anybody else (It'll just go on my almost weekly order...).

Sad that I've identified far odder connectors and failed to match up a standard 0.93" :)
