E2 PSU in an AWSD

[neokoen]

Kern,

The connectors used on the AWSD POS PSU are (Tyco) AMP VAL-U-LOC:
http://www.tycoelectronics.com/catalog/ ... 7579,17761
RS-components has them in stock I think.
They come in all flavours needed so it's easy to make an addaptor cable and are actually also compatible with the AMP DUAC connectors too.

why?

[neokoen]

Koen, I don't have a crimper, would I need one to use be able to fit those connectors? hmm.

Long nose pliers will do just fine, that's what I use and I only f***** up 2 crimps (out of more than a 100) in my life with 'em

1) A bog standard crimp tool can be had for £1
2) So long as you are not a cack-handed oaf, any crimp can be done with normal small pliers
3) See 1 and 2 and 3 and read the first character

Did the Egret 2 support +5V through the PSU? Or no?

There are some old Taito boards (Cadash, etc) I would love to play but both my AWSD and E3 do not support the +5volt so I am out of luck

Just buy a negatron and wire it into the +5 line. Dj Johnny should be able to knock one up (if he has time).

Sorry, meant -5volt

Negatron would still solve this issue? I would love to play me some Cadash with sound

Put joeblades Sanwa JVS PSU in there instead.

those adaptors are molex mini fit jr. not the above listed. also 1 connector is a jst.

Yes, it would. It takes +5 and fips it to -5.

The AMP VAL-U-LOK and molex minifit jr look exactly the same: same keying, same pitch even down to the same grouped ridges on the bottom of the plug...
From the drawings they hould be interchangeable.

They'll just used the cheapest one I guess.

The power plug is probably a JST VH

purplepricess,
Is there a distinguishing feature between the AMP's and Molexes ?
I can't find one but maybe I'm just missing something ?
