Old console connectors

[sonolink]

Anyone know where to find female connectors for these and/or what would they be called?







Thanks

I'm pretty sure 26-pin IDE cables would work perfectly.
Google IDC connectors!

Seems like you're right for the second image
Any ideas for the other one?
Thanks!

Oh, sorry! I kinda missed the first picture 

Looks like a standard Edge Connector. 36-pin. Googled and found a guy selling stuff for old Arcade machines: http://thearcadeboneyard.com/new_arcade_parts/new_jamma_harnesses_&_edge_connectors.php. I bet there are tons of retailers, though.

No problems
It's getting a bloody nightmare to find out what those are. Not even Midas can tell me! I might just solder directly onto the pins...
Thanks for your help, Conviction

With a little luck...

Is that 36 and/or 22 pins?
Where can I can those?

It's called "edge card connector", you can find some at mouser, farnell, digikey etc

Merci Keefaz

Looks like a 36/72 pin "card edge connector".  Just make Shure when you order that the pitch is right.
The most common pitch is .1"  and .156".


If it's the not so common  .15"  maybe Colin at AML can help.

Here is a hint for measuring the pitch of the contacts - measure from the left edge of one to the left edge of the tenth one down.  That way you will find 1.5" = .15" spacing or 1" = .1" spacing, etc.  Much easier than trying to read tiny increments.  Take it further and measure 30 pins = 4.5" so you have .15"  or 4.68" = .156" spacing.
