Important NOTICE! There have been some people stating these are too short. Please scroll down for some technical information.
These games are all over 30 years old, and replacing this interconnect section will solve a lot of lock up, boot up and intermittent problems you may be having with your game. If you've ever reseated this connector and it "fixed" it, that's a red flag it's time to replace. Over time, this connector simply gets unreliable with age, dirt, dust and corrosion. The battery holder is located immediately above it too, making it a target for damage due to leaking batteries. These female receivers are slightly different than the ones I've sold in the past which are no longer available, and they do not have the small wings at the ends. For a bit of savings I offer an economy kits eBay item 283679354425
Included in this kit are four 10 pin .156" male Molex connector pin sections and four 10 pin female bottom entry connectors.
These are brand new, never used. They are OFTEN damaged or have corrosion on them.
Technical notes: There are some people that think the headers I supply are too short, and they also need to be round. The Molex data sheet calls for the header to have a minimum pin insertion depth of 0.450, and these "technically" are 95% of that, however if you look at the 2nd picture in this listing, they do make a 100% connection going through the receiver. Going through more than needed does not make a better connection. The assumption could be because of the thickness of the PCB not being taken in to account. PinWiki states incorrectly that they need to be 16mm, which is what Williams originally used, but as we all know, they used what they had. Williams also incorrectly used round header pins, and some people think that is also required, but for a fact Molex recommends a flat edge header for these kinds of receivers.
Non-Technical fact: I have sold this kit for over 17 years, over 1000 kits sold, and 1000+ games fixed.
This is one of many kits and thousands of parts available from Big Daddy Enterprises. If you need a part, please contact me and I can create a listing for you on eBay.
Thank you for looking!
