Can someone identify these connectors?

[MaximRecoil]

Also, where can I buy them? I need 2 opposite pieces to go with the 2 position one, and 2 identical pieces to go with the 3 position ones. These are from a Punch-Out wiring harness (the audio cables specifically) and I'd like to have exact matching connectors if they are available. An exact link would be good if anyone recognizes these connectors with more specificity than simply "2 and 3 position Molex-type connectors".

Excuse the crappy webcam pictures:

I made a quick drawing of what the cable that I need to make would look like; it is attached below. It should be a foot or less in length, and has the female version of the 2 position connector on the end that connects to the main harness and the smaller 3 position connector goes directly to the audio amp. There is a length of brown shielded cable in between. I need two of these. Does anyone have any lying around that they would sell?

They are a superfluous feature of the harness design; they could have just made the audio cables from a main harness a little longer with the small 3 position connector on them to plug directly into the amps.

I already rigged up the audio with RCA cables a few weeks ago when I made the JAMMA adaptor, but since I got a hold of a complete Punch-Out main wiring harness, I want to use that instead and completely de-JAMMA-tize the machine in the process.

The first one looks a lot like a connector you would see on a battery that you would get in a higher end battery powered RC car.  Perhaps a hobby shop may have them.

The second looks close to the ones on a floppy drive, but not exactly. (floppy drive has 4 wires)

One of them is for monitors. The other one may have lots of equivalents.

Contact Bob Roberts, he has them I bet.

Do you mean the larger 2 position one? If you are talking about the typical 2 position monitor power plug like is found on Happ and Wells Gardner monitors, then it is close, but not quite:

That connector has one round part of the plug and one D-shaped part of the plug. The connector I need has both parts of the plug as sort of D-shaped, but a different, more angular D-shape than the D-shape on that monitor power connector from Happ.

That whole Punch-Out wiring harness uses the same series of connectors; I don't know if they are Molex brand or an equivalent. So if anyone knows what type of connectors are used in Punch-Out wiring harnesses, or probably even Nintendo wiring harnesses in general, that would be good.

This is what a drawing of the connector I need would look like, more or less (modified from the Happ drawing):

You may end up changing the connector to something you can find.  I have the smaller 3 pin connectors,  if you're willing to change out the housings on your harness.

Best,

Yeah, that's it.

If it's for ac, just cut it off and splice it.

As far as the other one, Bob Roberts has them. I go to him because Radio shack doesn't have them.

If you have a set of calipers, measure the distance between the holes and you have part of the description.  Like .093" whatever.

If you are wanting to put it together, you can *ugh* solder it together.  I've seen that done more than once.

You might luck out and get a connector for a computer to work.  You don't have to be pretty.  You can use a 6 or 7 for a 3.

But Bob has those Molex connectors of about every size.

The two pin connector looks like a Molex "Mini-Fit Jr." single row connector.

The 3 pin connector looks like Molex .100" KK series. Check out Mouser # 538-22-01-3037

Well, I already know how to hack it to make it work, I've done that already. The point is; I want to make it original now, as original as possible anyway.

I contacted Bob Roberts and he actually has one of those cables; this was his email:

Those Japanese connectors are obsolete & no longer available, but I have one used cable left that sounds like what you're looking for at $7.50 plus $6 shipping. I'll attach a pic & you can LMK if that's what you're looking for.

So that is perfect, except that he only has one (I'm still going to buy it). Also, he is referring to the 2-pin connector as being obselete and no longer available, since that is the only one I asked him about.

Then on RGVAC, someone posted this:

The connector that looks like a .062 Molex is actually by Philmore. I believe all of the larger ones are. They have a website:
www.philmore-datak.com. I have found them and used them to create my own audio cables.

Way cool!
Persistance Pays!

I'd have given up and hacked it though
