They will be 0.156 inch = 3.96mm.

Usual pinball suppliers eg retro arcade specialists have the connectors or amazon or farnell.

Many connectors are now crimped so you will also need a crimp tool.

Cheap but good crimp tool.

Or instead of crimped connectors you can use idc connectors like these but best to use with a tool and the proper molex tools are expensive but some of the cheaper tools can break easily.

I use crimps on higher powered circuits especially general illumination where incandescent are retained and I stick with idc for everything else. Idc should be fine on uour tna as circuits /leds are low powered.

To make sure you get the right connectors just measure the distance between pins on the pcb and it should be 3.96mm.

Thanks , i’m a sparks so i’m aufait with that side. Just wanted to nail down which Molex it was

Those IDC connections are same for telephone and cat5 connections - So i will use Molex as it’s much better

Conrad sent me over a list of stuff he has for his TNA so i’ve been able to order it all from RS this weekend

I’ll post up on the tna thread when im done what i’ve been up too
