Molex connectors - choosing which side should be male or female?
When putting in molex type connectors between a game board or power supply and a component (e.g. between board harness and control panel harness, board and coin door harness, board and monitor sync cables, power supply and monitor power, etc.), have operators over the years settled on a standard for which side should be male and which side should be female? Something like this:
Coming from (always male) ----> Going to (always female)
I find it all to be different between game to game, and get frustrated when swapping a chassis that (stroke of luck!) has the same 6 pin type connector for the sync connection between monitor and board edge connector, only to find that the ends are reversed!
Putting aside pin size and type of connector, I'm specifically just wondering about direction.
