So I've got my hands on a set of 1292 focus yokes and I'd like to find some standard Molex connectors to put on them and not have to cut the connectors of my old Marquee yokes in case I need to use them again. I understand the connectors are standard Molex connectors and I'm wondering if anyone has bought any and knows where to get them and what the part numbers are?

This looks pretty close here but I can't find the matching pins that would go with them.

Anyone know for sure what to order?

Thanks,

digikey has so much stuff it's hard to find what you need. I think i found them on another site.

Can anyone confirm if these connectors and crimps will work on the Marquee boards?

Thanks

I was able to find the correct parts after doing some searching and wanted to post the links here in case anyone else would find this useful. The Molex connectors are inexpensive and allowed me to wire up my yokes without sacrificing my original Thompsons in case I need to put them back in. It also allows me to not have the projector out of service any longer than necessary as I can not just swap the yokes out.

Here are the 4 and 6 pin housings

Here are the crimp pins that go in the housings

I've attached a picture of my yokes as well, I got fancy and put color coded wire braid over each harness. The other coils in my projector have these too. The look nice and keep wires from getting pinched

Hey guys there is an extensive frankenyoke thread perhaps this should go there.
