Wiring Happ Rotary Joysticks (mechanical) to GPWiz40

(1/2) > >>

isucamper:
So the Happ Rotary sticks have these nice little harnesses on them which make them really easy to hook up to Ultimarc's Rotary interface:



However, I recently switched to GGG's GPWiz40 so I could get compatibiity with Tinstar and Frontline.  GGG's interface just has screw terminals, and I'm wondering what the easiest way is to hook these rotary switches up to the screw terminals. 

I really don't want to cut off the harness to get to the wires in case I decide to ever sell these sticks.  I'd really like some kind of pin connector that on one side would fit into the holes on the harness and on the other side would have a crimp connector that I could attach to a wire going in to the screw terminal.  It seems to me like such a thing should exist, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. 

Anybody else mess with this before?

What about this?

I have no experience with these sticks or their interfaces but as I was looking around GGG I remembered seeing this.

This is kind of what I need but I need a harness with pins instead of holes. 

I've been looking too, and I've found a few pin connectors that crimp on one end, but I can't find ones with pins that are small enough to fit in the holes.  If I can't find anything by this weekend, I'll probably snip off the harness and wire it up.

The reason it's hard to find a wire adapter for this is it's designed to be connected to a circuit board.  IIRC, it's a standard 2.54mm (0.100") spaced, single row, 13 circuit, female connector, right?

You can use what it's designed to connect to; if I'm right with the size, most these should work.  They are supposed to be soldered onto boards, though, so you'll have to do some creative work.  The easiest being solder the product on one side of a board, and the wires onto the other side where the solder pins stick out.

Edit: These might work better.  The pin gets pushed through; look at their pdfs.

If the spacing is different, what is it?
