SNK Super Neo 29 Candy Pinouts
I don't know if or how many of these connectors are the same on other SNK cabinets, but straight out of the manual, here's the list for this cab.
Pins, Tabs, Plugs & Sockets
All the connectors used in this cabinet are made by JST, but they come from two families: YL and VL.
Note: Both the YL and VL series plug is uses a socket inner connector. The receptacle, mounted to the device, uses a pin inner connector. This nomenclature is sort of backwards to what you might expect.
| YL Series Connectors | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Function | Pins | Plug | Socket |
| Start Buttons | 6 | YLP-06V | YLR-06V |
| Primary Controls | 12 | YLP-12V | YLR-12V |
| Service Test SW | 8 | YLP-08V | YLR-08V |
| Coin Selector | 6 | YLP-06V | YLR-06V |
| YL Series Connectors | ↓ | ↓ | |
| Socket | Pin | ||
| 26-20 AWG | SYF-01T-P0.5A | SYM-01T-P0.5A | |
| 20-16 AWG | SYF-41T-P0.5A | SYM-41T-P0.5A | |
| VL Series Connectors | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Function | Pins | Plug | Socket |
| AC Input | 6 | VLP-06V | B06P-VL |
| DC Output | 8 | VLP-08V | B08P-VL |
| FL Unit | 3 | VLP-03V | B03P-VL |
| Degauss | 2 | VLP-02V | B02P-VL |
| VL Series Connectors | ↓ | ↓ | |
| Socket | Pin | ||
| 22-16 AWG | SVF-42T-P2.0 | SVM-42T-P2.0 | |
| 20-14 AWG | SVF-61T-P2.0 | SVM-61T-P2.0 | |
Notes
- The VL series come in two styles, inner- and outer-housing lock. This refers to the clasp that holes the plug to the socket, preventing inadvertent removal. The inner style is what's normally used on arcade machines
- SNK uses 16 AWG for power and 22 AWG for everything else (More info)
Control Input
Start Buttons
For whatever reason, the 1- and 2-player Start buttons aren't on the main controller connector.

Primary Controls
The pinouts for P1 and P2 are the same. P2 has a red socket in the cabinet.
| Pin | Function | Pin | Function | Pin | Function |

| 2 | Down | 6 | Button 2 | 10 | N/C |
| 3 | Left | 7 | Button 3 | 11 | Ground |
| 4 | Right | 8 | Button 4 | 12 | N/C |
Service, Test & Counter
This connector provides the service and test buttons, and connects the JAMMA harness to the coin counter.

Coin Selector
This is input from the coin mechanism.

* According to the schematic, this is connected only internally between this connector and FL UNIT (fluorescent light) connector. I assume it's for Earth Ground, where a 3-prong connector is used.

* According to the schematic, pin 3 is connected only internally between this connector and AC Input connector. I assume it's for Earth Ground, where a 3-prong connector is used.
Degauss
Nothing special here. 2 pins, connected to the monitor's Degauss input.
