StephenJ Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Greetings, I'm doing a Joystick mod on my Odyssey 2 and I need two of the joystick cables (with the connectors attached) from the model where the controllers were connected on the inside of the system. Is there a source on the web where I could get the cables and attached connectors. (See the attached photo of the connector)? Thanks, Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) something like this might work if the pitch is the same http://www.ebay.com/itm/EH-2-5-6-Pin-Female-housing-Connector-wire-and-Male-straight-header-x-10-SETS-/112587406365?hash=item1a36bb7c1d:g:ZsIAAOSwc1FZ01Ns If the pitch is the same but the female plastic connector won't work with the existing male header on the board, then you could use the one that comes with it since it comes with a male header as well. Here shows how to measure the pitch EDIT: You just have to measure what you have first to make sure whatever you buy is the correct pitch so the new pins and holes line up with the connectors and pcb.

StephenJ Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 Thanks Signguy81 for taking the time to provide me with the information! Although I prefer to get the actual wire/connectors, I'll certainly keep your suggestion in mind as an alternative. Much appreciated, StephenJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metarog Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 He got them from me... I am out of loose internal joystick cables but I do have several spare joysticks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The one on eBay seems to be 2.54 mm, 0.1" spacing while according to above you're looking for 2.00 mm, 0.079" spacing. Yet it says better measure it yourself before buying the wrong parts. You might find something here, or at a competitor's site. Then it is up to you to fit cables to the connector. https://www.digikey.com/products/en/connectors-interconnects/rectangular-connectors-headers-receptacles-female-sockets/315?k=&pkeyword=&pv1989=0&FV=fff40016%2Cfff802f4%2C700789%2C70078a%2C700002%2C7007df%2C7008c7%2C700a92%2C700032%2C70004a%2C1600007%2C1bf8001c%2Cffe0013b%2Cii1%7C2172&mnonly=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&quantity=0&ptm=0&fid=0&pageSize=25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SignGuy81 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yeah the ebay link I posted above was just an example I mentioned he'd have to measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
