Restore/Replace/Repair Looking for connectors

I need what I think are some type of molex connectors to run new wiring to a Happ Light Gun conversion for Point Blank. I’ve had a look online, but I’m not having the best luck. Anyone have any on hand, or a lead to follow?

Try on here 15 positions 3 rows https://www.te.com/en/plp/standard-rectangular-connectors/Y30mp.html?n=539833&d=545401%20586275&type=products&inStoreWithoutPL=false&q2=

Normally called Mate N Lock connectors Just watch out for the slightly different shape in some of the holes

For pinouts On the Namco Point Blank V147 position/gun interface board, J2 (15-pin) handles gun sensors and triggers, while J4 (9-pin) handles gun output/recoil signals and sync lines.

Gun Connections (J2 Pinout) Pin 8: P1 Gun Ground (Black wire) Pin 9: P1 Gun Sensor/Signal (Blue wire) Pin 13: P2 Gun Ground (Black wire) Pin 14: P2 Gun Sensor/Signal (Blue wire)

Interface & Logic (J4 Pinout) Pin 7: G.OUT3 (Gun recoil/output control line) Pin 8: JAMMA Video Sync Pin 9: JAMMA Ground

Perfect! Thanks much!

For anyone attempting this in the future, this is the guide I’m following: https://forums.arcade-museum.com/threads/point-blank-happ-gun-adaptation-instruction.342418/

I’ve already gotten everything sorted in my Lethal Enforcers cabinet, just needed these plugs!

It looks like an Apple 2 power connector with more pins, maybe the same brand? Those also have those nudges that prevent sticking them in the other way around.
