So I have this Donkey Kong control panel that's been damaged. I'd like to try and repair it if I can. I need the pins that get crimped on the ends of the 3 wires shown in the picture. I still have the terminal block they plug into, so I just need the pins.

Does anyone know where I can get them? Maybe a Digi-Key or mouser part number?

Thanks in advance!

On a CP harness I just got I was missing one of these pins for the Player 2 button. I just wedged a piece of copper wire just a little thicker than the pin into the hole and it fixed my problem for the single pin.
 
Do they fit the connector properly, without hanging out the back? And snap in?

I don't think you will find any that snap in.
The .100 housings made today are wider than the old ones Nintendo used.
All the ones I looked at were basically the same with just minor differences in dimensions.
The ones I referenced will stay in if you push them all the way till the shoulder is flush with the edge.
There will be a bit sticking out the back but not much.
The pins are also longer so I just snipped them down to match the others.
You really have to push the pin to get it to back out.
The ones you bought probably will work the same.
Check the drawings on Mouser's site and compare them to the ones you have.
If you have the mfg number you can find them on the site.

Edit: These from Jameco seem to be a bit smaller and might not stick out the back.
