Hello
I want to use this splitter (from pinball Life) on a fishtales to plug from the power board (J116):
- speaker lights
- under cab lights
- 12 inches led strip on the PF’s back
- colorDMD
- flipper buttons lights.
Can it work?
If not, what are my best options?
Thanks!
Lou
Like this one? I think this one works with Fish Tales and other Williams machines...

I think you are pushing it with all those mods off that one connection, I’d scrap the undercab, those will use the most power.
I got a power supply for mods on my machine and placed in the bottom of the cabinet.
I plug it into a power strip along with the machine on the same power strip.
I got a power strip with surge protection, just because I could.
They are not really expensive and they are pretty common.
Here is one example, I am not sure about details on the seller.
What I have normally seen is that delivery is about a month from China for products like this.

Great! I found one on Amazon. I should get it tomorrow.
It Looks better and more reliable than the pinballlife one.
Thanks!
Quoted from Enchantress:So how exactly do you wire your mods into the power supply? Are there designated -/+ screw terminals, then wire inline consecutively?
Typically, they have 3 terminals for the AC supply (L, N and G) and a switch on the device to select the input voltage at 240 or 120.
6 additional terminal have the DC outputs, with 3 positive DC terminals and 3 negative DC terminals.
The DC output voltage is selected when you order the device, as they come in various shapes and sizes.
You can also decide how much load you want the device to be capable of and they are usually available in 10 Amp, 20 Amp or 30 Amp models.
