Changed this thread. This is what it should say.

I have an addams family and all of my power connectors are full (led strip, color dmd, led speaker rings, led flipper buttons, under cab lighting) Most of them are already piggybacked. At this point i am one 3 pin slot short. What can I do and is there any way I can transfer the mods that need continuous power to something else and take the load from the board? Any help would be awesome. I do not want to splice into any wires etc. if at all possible. If it came to that I would just for go the mods.

wow that looks promising. i will check it out.

Quoted from bballfan:

J116 and J117 are the same as J118 according to the manual.
Pin 2 is 12vdc and 3 is ground.pin 4 is 5vdc

truthfully im probably using them already lol I will check when i get home though.

It says plug the adapter to j117, would it also work on j118?

Ok, got the power tap but its not really solving my problem. I am already using j116 j117 and j118. I thought the power tap would allow me to plug one more 3 pin into it but it dosent. It does give an additional 3 hole plug but not the type to plug my mod into. I attached a pic of the power tap i bought. Now what? I had to unplug my led flipper buttons to plug in the surround sound. I just need a place to plug the led flippers back into. Any suggestions?

Quoted from ForceFlow:

Get the right molex connectors and housings, and build your own y-adapter that plugs into that power tab board.

I would really like to get something that i could plug them all into and take the load off the board. is there such a thing?

Quoted from djblouw:

It'll take a little bit of knowledge (re-pinning all the current mods, and also tapping into the line voltage before the x-former), but you could buy one of these:
http://www.pinballlife.com/index.php?p=product&id=2981
and one of these:
amazon.com link »
and you can hook all the mods this way (it supplies 5V & 12V).
I've had to do this for my CFTBL, as the game is notorious for being on the edge (power-wise). It's worked fantastic.

That is what im looking for as a end result but dont know how to get there. All the mods i want to hook up are all 3 pin. How do you make them compatible with the pinballlife product?

Thanks guys. I will show my husband, as electrical things are way out of my range of expertise lol.

Quoted from markmon:

J116, J117, and J118 are identical. A properly wired mod will provide a passthru so it inserts itself inline. You can keep adding more and more mods to one of those connectors as long as they daisy chain together. The limit is the amount of power you draw from the board. Not how many plugs you use.

At this point all 3 are already piggybacked. I only need 1 more. Is there a splitter?

Ok. I may try it

It never crossed my mind to double piggyback. I dont know why but when my husband gets off work i will try it. I can never get the speaker panel back in right and he can lol
