3 Rectifier Board Connector J3 Wiring

Bally Paragon Rectifier Board Connector J3
Bally Paragon Rectifier Board Connector J3 Pinout


For reference, the wire color pinout for the rectifier board J3 connector is shown here. Note that the 20 pins are split across two connectors, 9 pin and 11 pin in this case. When TriFurcon pins are used (recommended), an entire 20 pin connector is difficult to install/remove. By splitting the connector, the two smaller connectors are easier to install/remove. Drawing a line across the top (and a different line on the bottom), along with keying the connector properly, ensures proper installation.
