Konami Windy 2 Pinouts
Konami used a wide range of connectors from different series from two different manufacturers. JST's YL, VL, VH, NH, and EL are used for cabinet wiring, and AMP's Universal Power is used for Sega compatibility on the control panel and monitor.
Several of the Konami Windy connectors use the same pinout as Sega's Astro City cabinets. The information below is based on schematic diagrams for the Windy cabinets, so please verify they match your cabinet's configuration.
⚠️ CAUTION
Part Numbers
For all of these connectors, the part codes are listed. The pins come in two gauges, typically the large gauge (lower numbers) are used for power, the smaller gauge (higher numbers) are used for everything else.

Important
First up, the important connector. Ground is important in a cabinet, especially the frame ground which protects the player from stray voltages running through places they shouldn't. Always check the pinout of your YL-01 connectors, and make sure your frame ground goes to the right place!
