So I recently bought three cyber leads and well i maybe bit off a little more then I could chew.. There is little to no parts or information on these things I can find on the web.. I'm missing a very important I/O for one i cant seem to find I may have to strip it down and make it a jamma cab instead of a jvs.. anyway if anyone with a cyber lead can help me that have dealt with a restoration before im looking for the molex size for the CP to i/o its a 12 pin single row but i cant seem to find the size any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks guys

I had the same issue when I wanted to make a proper JAMMA loom for mine last year. Never did find the socket part number and ended up just making a full set of quick connects to the stick/buttons. It was very annoying trying to find info on the Cyberlead stuff...I did manage to get a manual recently so I'll have look see if the specs for it are in there.


EDIT: Just seen that the ArcadeOtaku wiki has the manual and it reveals no new information...

It does look the same. I suppose as long as the pitch is correct it'll work fine. If you ever find out what the connector is I'd like to know as well:)

i can attest to it being nearly impossible to locate an IO board for cyberlead cabs. converting the cab is probably a better idea. those IO's are rare as hell.

When I had my cyberlead I made a sort of custom harness for the IO.I took several 3 pin molex's and mirrored the pinout of the 1P. Its annoying but its one way to get it to work.

Probably not Molex.. More than likely JST. Can you take a better pic of the connector and socket/header disconnected?

neogeogod, I would love to hear what you find. I've got 2 cyberleads, each with a 1p panel and only one CP harness per cab.

my suggestion is that you create an acct on TE's site

https://www.te.com/commerce/esr/register_progressive.do

And order samples. an amount of these lower than 100 is gonna SUCK for you.

I found the parts on Mouser and you can buy just a couple (Lem, please correct me if I'm wrong):

Whoa, that's a coincidence!

Someone on AO asked me about making up some Cyberlead CP looms last night and sent me a photo. I suspected they would be TE IE as the 246/256 IOs use the same family of connector. I thought I would google 'Cyberlead IE' to see if I got any hits and lo and behold this thread pops up and it's only a couple of days old too!

You can get the IE range of connectors in the UK from RS Components in MOQs of 10 [Link].

I'm going to order a couple and I'll probably only going to need a couple so should have some spare if required.
