So in my continuing saga to add buttons to my 4 Player Konami Cabinet, I thought I had all the parts I needed, but then I noticed one thing that I'm missing, and I don't know what it is. It appears as though then the wire for the button wires into the JAMMA Harness, it does into some sort of metal clamp in the harness, which I was unaware of. I've attached a picture for reference, but is this a part I can buy to wire into the JAMMA Harness? I was hoping to avoid having to purchase a whole new Harness, because that would mean having to rewire every button, as opposed to only the four I want to add currently. Thanks.

Your present JAMMA connector is what's called, "not fully loaded". You need to buy the individual connector terminals to insert into that housing. That would allow you to just add the needed wires without having to completely redo everything.
 
Do you happen to know what this piece I'm looking for is called? All I see on Bob Roberts is the plastic polarizing key...
 
On the connector page towards the bottom:

Molex split pins bag of 100 $8.00
Molex split pins bag of 500 $35.00
 
Is the harness in your picture your actual harness? If is is what exactly are you trying to do? You said you wanted to add more buttons which buttons are you trying to add? You currently have the controls for players 1 and 2 wired with 2 fire buttons per player.
 
Yes, that is a picture of my actual harness. I'm trying to wire a third fire button for each player and a Player 1 and 2 Start button.
 
So it looks like you need about 4 wires. If you're not concerned about them being the proper color I can send you some. Just shoot me a PM with your mailing address.
 
Thanks, actually what I am in need of is the metal connector terminals that go into the JAMMA Harness that the wires connect into, is that what you are referring to? Thanks!

lol, yeah. I'd be mailing you the wires with the connectors already attached. All you'd have to do is plug them in where you need them. That is if you're not picky about them being the correct color/patten. I have a an extra harnesses I can pull some wires/terminals from.
 
One final addendum to this, which I should have included in the first place, what kind of terminal clips are used to secure the wires in the three and four player harnesses, and where can I get those?
