Power Molex

JuggaloGuido:
Hi guys,
I am working on my first MAME cabniet so this entire thing is a new adventure for me.  I've gotten some progress made, but I seem to have hit a simple wall.  The cab has a different connector than the arcade monitor I bought for it.  The cab has a molex style connector with one circle and one square, and I cant seem to find one around my area.  Wondering if anyone knows the name for that piece or another route I can take to connect the power to my monitor. 

Thanks for helping the new guy,
jarett

seconded. no sense keeping something that isn't going to work for you. Unless you can find/have a matching plug, chop it off.

don't worry nobody will think any less of you.

If you want a nice clean solution, post up some pics of the two connectors in question. I've converted dozens of monitors and cab over the years, so I can help you get the right part number for the proper mating connector from DigiKey, if you show me what you have.

If it were me, I would find the proper connector. But chances are good that he doesn't have the proper crimper for the Molex pins. Using bullet or spade connectors will allow the OP to have a disconnectable connection by using common crush type crimpers that are typically found on combination wiring tools.
