I'm looking at these 4 connectors that I need to order the male end of to wire up my Simpsons control panel. In looking at these connectors, I can't tell if they are Amp or Molex, or maybe something else. The shape of the upper right position of this connector is what's really throwing me off. It doesn't seem to match any amp or molex connectors on Bob's site. FWIW, this is a Simpsons control panel with what I'm pretty sure is stock wiring. I figured a "newer" game wouldn't have any oddball stuff in it, but maybe Konami found a cheap source for them other than Amp or Molex. I can always put on another connector if needed, but hopefully this pic will be enough for someone to ID them. Thanks for any help.

I went through every catalog I could find and never figured out what those were. I ended up going through my friend's lucky and wild and replacing all of the connectors with molex ones.

The original ones were corroding up and failing, so it seemed silly to change out half the connectors. It was a pain...
 
Thanks for the reply. I guess at least I was correct that these appear to be some off brand/oddball connectors. The original connectors are in good shape, but if I must then I'll just put new Molex connectors on. It'll be a bit time consuming, but oh well. I'm betting my stock coin door connectors will have to be changed out too.
 
On a side note, if you need a couple to mate with what you have, I kept all of the ones that were not corroded. Let me know what shape/pincount you need and you can have em for shipping.
 
If they are in good shape, I wouldn't mess with them. If they need replacing, I would go with molex.
Well the issue is that I'm wiring up the rest of the cab from scratch so I don't have the male end for those connectors. I have either find them or just go with molex. On the plus side, the coin doors look to be using a standard molex connector.

Cool I'd really appreciate it. I'll send you a PM.
 
You are correct, those are slightly different than the ones I had issues with. Those are a standard molex. I saw the rounded edges and got confused.

My apologies. These are the ones I have:

Oh... I was replying to fib's picture, which is apparently different from the first picture... first picture looks like a standard .084 mate'n'lok. Molex has a .093 that's the same shape, but .084's far more common here... you'd need to measure the pin pitch to know for sure.
