Hitbox cable to joystick adapter

Description

This is a relatively short adapter cable about 12cm long that you can use to convert your deck or wiring setup from spade connectors to a 5 pin connector as found on Sanwa and Seimitsu joysticks.  The male spade terminals are 4.8mm (0.188″).

Some looms have 8 female spade connectors arranged in pairs that connect to your joystick – each pair connects to one of the 4 microswitches on the bottom of the stick.  Using this adapter cable and connecting to each of the left, right, up, down and a single (typically black) earth plug you can then plugin the 5 pin female connector to your Sanwa or Seimitsu joystick’s male 5 pin connector.  The benefit to using this adapter is that you can leave your loom intact should you wish to go back to a joystick with individual switch connectors later.
