Altheman2004 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Whilst I know you can pick up pre made crimped wiring, I am looking into just making my own. Would anyone happen to know gauge of wire I should be looking at for my own wiring? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altheman2004 Posted May 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Hi Andrew. This is for making my own MFME cabinet. So wiring hopper / mech and switches into the IPAC & Keyboard Encoder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew96 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 oh any 7 strand 0.2mm will do, unless it's carrying considerable power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew96 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) I find best place is either farnells or cpc, cpc free postage over £20, farnells over £40, bigger discount when ordering quantity at farnells. this sort of thing.... I have actually just ordered some 100m reels! https://uk.farnell.com/concordia-technologies/ew7-0-2blu100m/equipment-wire-7-0-20mm-blue-100m/dp/3375136 https://cpc.farnell.com/concordia-technologies/ew7-0-2blu100m/equipment-wire-7-0-20mm-blue-100m/dp/CB19844 swings and roundabouts !

Altheman2004 Posted May 2, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 Thanks for those suggestions. I will have some 12v lines running to the hopper and coin mech, will these be sufficient, or should I be looking at a bigger gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew96 Posted May 2, 2023 Report Share Posted May 2, 2023 I would say a thicker gauge for those, but if your using a coin mech and no diverter it should be ok for that, you can try it first and see if you need to go thicker, but hopefully someone else with more experience and ipac knowledge will be able to advise. My dealings is with real machines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew96 Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 yes 8 reels of green and 8 of blue. It is to hopefully make lamp wiring looms for red dwarf easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
