OK pinball Wizards

J11 on the backbox interconnect board is a 16 pin IDC connector. It only has one wire going to it. (see pic)

Mine had a 9 pin connector (broken one at that) with the one wire and all the other pins uncovered.

Here's my question. Do I need a 16-pin connector for this one lonely wire. Can I put say a 3 pin connector with the wire in the right place which is pin 3?

I've searched most of the usual vendors and the highest position pin I see is 13. Anyone even know where to get a 16?

I'm so close to solving my last problem which is no lights on the upper playfield GI.

If someone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

I don't see the need for a 13 pin Idc for 1 wire.A 3 pin will work.

3, 2, 1. I've used 2 different connectors on some headers, like a 5 and a 6 to cover 11 pins. Don't see the harm as long as you get it right....

I would use the right one and key it, only to make sure it can't be plugged in the wrong spot. Who knows if you'll keep the game forever, and it might save a future owner from problems if they had to service the machine.
