Quick-disconnect systems are essential in arcade machine wiring, ensuring easy maintenance, repairs, and component swaps. The most common types include:

1. Molex Connectors: Widely used for power supply connections, these plastic-housed connectors feature crimped terminals for secure, tool-free disconnection.

2. JST Connectors: Popular for control panels and PCB connections, these compact connectors offer reliable snap-in locking mechanisms.

3. Spade Terminals: Simple and cost-effective, these metal terminals slide onto screw or stud connections, often seen in power switches and coin mechanisms.

4. D-Sub Connectors: Used for signal wiring (e.g., joysticks or buttons), these multi-pin connectors ensure stable data transmission.

5. Anderson Powerpole Connectors: Heavy-duty options for high-current applications, like monitor power supplies, with a modular design for customization.

Each type balances durability, ease of use, and electrical reliability—key for arcade cabinet longevity. Choosing the right connector depends on voltage, current, and mechanical stress requirements.
