Title: SW yoke wiring
Post by: Russ J on August 05, 2012, 11:49:42 AM

What's to correct 'gauge' of wiring that's on the SW yoke..?

Here's a piccy of mine....as you can see the wiring is a bit of a botch job (does work but i'm wanting to tidy it all up)

I can get wiring from Swallow Amusements,

But they do stock differant gauges of wiring...

Also i'm wanting to replace the connectors at the ends,

now Swallow does these as well but again in a few differant sizes...which ones will i need ?  (i only need the 'male' parts if you no what i mean)

Wire gauge is totally unimportant for these controls as they carry very little current.

Those connector pin sizes always completely confuse me....

Here is a little help:

cheers for that matey  8)

I've ordered some wire and connectors from Swallow (if the connectors are wrong they didn't cost much to buy,i'm pretty confident they are gonna be ok though ***fingers crossed***  :D)

I -think- it is the 093 size usually for Atari cabs...so I hope you ordered that.

Just looked at my order and these are the pins i've ordered,

0.093" Crimp plug pin. 14-20 AWG

They do have 2 sizes so i took a gamble and ordered the above...so going by your info looks like i've ordered the right ones  ;D
