Help, does anyone know what these cords are? Fightstick SE Madcatz

[Scharlachrot]

This is from my SE Fightstick, this connector cord thing doesn’t work and it’s the thing that connects the joystiq towards the board.

So can anyone tell me what they’re called or where I can find them? I need a replacement.

Omg, I found my problem right here cause the connectors work on the old stick

Sanwa JLF-TP-8YT-SK Ball Handle Joystick, 4 & 8-Way Adjustable
PLEASE NOTE: All Sanwa joysticks now ship without ball tops…

This stick is a drop-in replacement for MadCatz Fightsticks… Use the existing wiring harness…

Due to popular demand, we are now offering this version of the popular JLF series stick for all of our customers who are modding their SE series Fightstick… This model has the correct PCB orientation for drop-in replacement, pre-installed mounting plate, and includes a black shaft cover with 2 matching dustwashers. It does not include the wiring harness. All JLF series sticks ship with a square gate set for 8-way operation. Tops are now sold separately, any Sanwa or Seimitsu ball top will fit on this stick…

Hey jdm, exactly what crimping tool would you use for these kinds of connectors? I’ve been wondering that myself for a while

Your problem is what?

You need an Open Barrel Terminal Crimper.

AkihabaraShop.jp has the Hozan which does the Quick Disconnects you see in TE.

Good news, I swapped out the boards on the parts and now my Sanwa works, i’d like to thank everyone who pitched in to help I really appreciate it.

[langrisser]

Just guessing from the picture since i don’t have a madcatz stick but those look like roughly 24awg open barrel female pins. You would want a crimper like this however the exact one would depend on the pin vendor and size. Hopefully that helps some.

Hmm… the open barrel crimp tools, are they the same thing as D-sub crimpers (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103683&CAWELAID=107598779)? If so, I may already have one.
