Arcade control panels rely on various cable connectors to ensure smooth functionality and responsiveness. The most common types include:

1. Quick Disconnect (QD) Connectors – Widely used for buttons and joysticks, these allow easy replacement without soldering.

2. Molex Connectors – Often used for power supply connections, providing secure and stable power delivery.

3. JST Connectors – Common in Japanese arcade setups, these are compact and reliable for signal wiring.

4. USB Connectors – Found in modern arcade panels, enabling plug-and-play compatibility with PCs and consoles.

5. D-Sub (DB15/DB25) Connectors – Used in older arcade systems for multi-pin connections.

Understanding these connectors helps in troubleshooting and customizing arcade control panels efficiently.
